“What is a forest but a city of nature’s own, full of hardy and innocuous living things, where there is nothing dead and nothing made with the hands, but the citizens themselves are the houses and public monuments? There is nothing so much alive, and yet so quiet… And surely of all smells in the world, the smell of many trees is the sweetest and most fortifying.”
— Robert Louis Stevenson
