The heavy trees, The grunting, shuffling branches, the robust, The nocturnal, the antique, the blue-green pines Deepen the feelings to inhuman depths Picture Quote #1

If you want a peaceful place to dwell Cold Mountain is guaranteed forever A light wind blows softly in the pines The sound is good when you are close One old man sits beneath the trees Reading Lao Tzu and Huang Ti, mumbling I could not find the world if I searched ten years I’ve forgotten the road by which I came Picture Quote #1

If you’re looking for a place to rest Cold Mountain is good for a long stay The breeze blowing through the dark pines Sounds better the closer you come And under the trees a white haired man Mumbles over his Taoist texts Ten years now he hasn’t gone home He’s even forgotten the road he came by Picture Quote #1

There is a higher law affecting our relation to pines as well as to men. A pine cut down, a dead pine, is no more a pine than a dead human carcass is a man Picture Quote #1

I dreamed a place where I have come to dwell Cold Mountain says it all Monkeys scream, the valley fog is cold My door blends with the color of the peaks I gather leaves and thatch a hut among the pines Dig a pond and lead a trickle from the brook Long ago I left the world behind Eating ferns I pass the years in peace Picture Quote #1

These blasted pines, wrecks of a single winter, barkless, branchless, a blighted trunk upon a cursed root Picture Quote #1

My apple trees will never get across and eat the cones under his pines, I tell him. He only says, good fences make good neighbours Picture Quote #1

The very uprightness of the pines and maples asserts the ancient rectitude and vigor of nature. Our lives need the relief of such a background, where the pine flourishes and the jay still screams Picture Quote #1

How right it is to love flowers and the greenery of pines and ivy and hawthorn hedges; they have been with us from the very beginning Picture Quote #1

These were people... who built redwood decks on their mobile homes and have no idea that smart-aleck Yankees think that is somehow funny. People of the pines. My people Picture Quote #1

O, when I am safe in my sylvan home, I mock at the pride of Greece and Rome; And when I am stretch’d beneath the pines When the evening star so holy shines, I laugh at the lore and pride of man, At the Sophist’s schools, and the learned clan; For what are they all in their high conceit, When man in the bush with God may meet? Picture Quote #1

In winter, when the dismal rain came down in slanting lines, and wind, that grand old harper, smote his thunder-harp of pines Picture Quote #1

I take a sun bath and listen to the hours, formulating, and disintegrating under the pines, and smell the resiny hardihood of the high noon hours. The world is lost in a blue haze of distances, and the immediate sleeps in a thin and finite sun Picture Quote #1

It seemed a strange thing to him, when earth was earth and rain was rain, that scrawny pines should grow in the scrub, while by every branch and lake and river there grew magnolias. Dogs were the same everywhere, and oxen and mules and horses. But trees were different in different places Picture Quote #1

In our bones we need the natural curves of hills, the scent of chaparral, the whisper of pines, the possibility of wildness Picture Quote #1

Prize the natural spaces and shorelines most of all, because once they’re gone, with rare exceptions they’re gone forever. In our bones we need the natural curves of hills, the scent of chapparal, the whisper of pines, the possibility of wildness. We require these patches of nature for our mental health and our spiritual resilience Picture Quote #1

Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things Picture Quote #1

Like the great white pines whose roots grow shallow under the forest floor, they are the first to fall in a storm; so is society whose family values are built on a shallow foundation, are the first to crumble at the first sign of trouble Picture Quote #1

Soon the child’s clear eye is clouded over by ideas and opinions, preconceptions, and abstractions. Simple free being becomes encrusted with the burdensome armor of the ego. Not until years later does an instinct come that a vital sense of mystery has been withdrawn. The sun glints through the pines and the heart is pierced in a moment of beauty and strange pain, like a memory of paradise. After that day, we become seekers Picture Quote #1

Welcome, ye shades! Ye bowery Thickets hail! Ye lofty Pines! Ye venerable Oaks! Ye Ashes wild, resounding over the steep! Delicious is your shelter to the soul Picture Quote #1

Oh beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain, for strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain. America, America, man sheds his waste on thee, and hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea Picture Quote #1
