A Poetic Relation to Nature
The principle thing I stand for is, I suppose, not a "return to nature," which is a phrase capable of a quite childish interpretation, but the return to a poetic relation to nature. Man is out of relation to his background…When man is in a poetic relation to his background, he achieves a religious sense of life, and this is the sense that makes him Man.
Henry Beston, The Outermost House (2003-06-17)
Notes
Man is out of relation to nature, when in relation, he achieves a spiritual sense of life.
