By 
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.
from Childe Harold, Canto iv, Verse 178
by Lord Byron
Image was taken this morning in the forest near Pymatuning lake.
Not as familiar with Byron as i’d like to be. Thanks for this.

I like the line very much, where it says ‘I love not man the less, but Nature more’.

My daughter memorized this a year or two ago and when she recited it that’s the line that stuck with me.

Thank you! I used to work at Carlos Fuentes Charter School and I knew it wasn’t him but it reminded me of his portrait.
