“Sweeter than apples to children
The green water spurted through my pine-wood hull.”
Plus douce qu'aux enfants la chair des pommes sures,
L'eau verte pénétra ma coque de sapin.

“They sang the praises of nature, of the sea, of the woods.”

Context: They sang the praises of nature, of the sea, of the woods. They liked making songs about one another, and praised each other like children; they were the simplest songs, but they sprang from their hearts and went to one's heart. And not only in their songs but in all their lives they seemed to do nothing but admire one another. It was like being in love with each other, but an all-embracing, universal feeling.
“On chameleons - Stay green. Stay in the woods. Stay safe.”

"Optimistic Voices".
Context: You’re out of the woods
You’re out of the dark
You’re out of the night
Step into the sun, step into the light,
Keep straight ahead
For the most glorious place
On the Face of the Earth
Or the sky. Hold onto your breath
Hold onto your heart
Hold onto your hope,
March up to the gate
And bid it open.
“There comes a moment, when you get lost in the woods, when the woods begin to feel like home.”
