“Love seems to beautify and inspire all nature. It raises the earthly caterpillar into the ethereal butterfly, it paints the feathers in spring, it lights the glowworm's lamp, it wakens the song of birds, and inspires the poet's lay. Even inanimate Nature seems to feel the spell, and flowers glow with the richest colours.” FeelsLightSeemsSongInspirePoetFlowerSpringBirdRaisesLaysPaintColourSpellsButterflyFeathersLampsCaterpillarsEthereal Author:John Lubbock
“One of the best gifts you can give a poet is to present them with field guides - to rocks, to stars, to birds, to wildflowers, to trees and bushes, to butterflies, to reptiles and amphibians.
