Nature is an infinite source of beauty and cheer. Sunrise and
sunset, mountains and rivers, lakes and glaciers, forests and
fields provide great joy to the human mind and heart. Everything
in nature is splendid and divine. Every passing day, every season
of the year unveils some special aspect of natural beauty. Only
one should have the eyes to behold it and a heart to feel it like
the English poet Wordsworth who, after seeing the daffodils, said:
My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky.'And then my heart with pleasure fills,And dances with the daffodils.'
Nature is a great teacher. Early man was thrilled by the beauty and wonders of nature. Shakespeare, in one of his poems, found sermons in stones and books in running brooks.
Sadly though, people today have no time for enjoying the beauties of nature. People are too busy to look at a flower or to play with a squirrel.
Today, when towns and cities are planned, certain pockets are reserved exclusively for parks or fountains. Trees are planted along roads. When people plan holidays or picnics, they go to beaches, gardens, parks or places where natural surroundings are in plenty. For everyone knows that we cannot live without nature around us.
