Nature,life and eternity a quote by Rachel Carson

To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow
of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great
salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept
up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold
thousands of years, to see the running of the old eels and
the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things
that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be.
Rachel Carson
