On kuin ovi tuntemattomaan

olisi raollaan

aukenemassa.

Olavi Ingman

Nature is painting for us, day after day,

pictures of infinite beauty, 

if only we have the eyes to see them.

John Ruskin

O stay where you are! Here

in the uncertain hour of a late afternoon

looking outward and looking in

I see this beauty

all I see is beauty.

Something that convinces, asks to be seen,

though it does nothing, just stays where it is,

and merely by existing wins me over.

Patrizia Cavalli
