I never saw a moor, I never saw the sea, yet know I how the heather looks and what a wave must be. I never spoke with God, nor visited in Heaven, yet certain am I of the spot, as if a chart were given.

Emily Dickinson

My sister Emily loved the moors. Flowers brighter than the rose bloomed in the blackest of the heath for her; out of a sullen hollow in a livid hillside her mind could make an Eden. She found in the bleak solitude many and dear delights; and not the least and best-loved was – liberty.

Hippocrates

In every out thrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the Earth.

Rachel Carson

Sleep thou, and I will wind thee in my arms, 

So doth the Woodbine, the sweet Honeysuckle, gently entwist, the female Ivy so enrings the barky fingers of the Elm. 

Shakespeare

Sweet peas are the kind of flowers fairies sleep in.

Allison Pearson
