What a difference a day made. Twenty-four little hours brought the sun and the flowers where there used to be rain.

What a difference a day makes. There’s a rainbow before me. Skies above can’t be stormy since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss.

- Jamie Cullum (1979- ), What A Difference A Day Made

하루는 큰 변화를 가져다주지요. 스물넷의 짧은 시간이 지나자 비가 왔던 곳에 태양이 빛나고 꽃들이 피었어요.

하루는 큰 변화를 가져다주지요. 내 앞에 무지개가 떴어요. 저 하늘에는 모진 비바람이 사라졌어요. 그 황홀한 순간, 그 짜릿한 입맞춤을 하고 나니.

- 제이미 컬럼 (Jamie Cullum, 1979- ), 영국의 재즈·팝 피아니스트

Rest, Sir J. Lubbock

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.

- Sir J. Lubbock [The Use of Life (1894), ch. IV: Recreation]

휴식은 게으름이 아니다. 여름날 나무그늘 아래 풀밭에 누워 물 흐르는 소리를 듣거나, 하늘을 가로지르는 구름을 보는 것은 시간 낭비가 아니다.

- 존 러벅 (1834-1913) 영국의 은행가·저술가·자연 과학자·정치가

Spring, Seasons, David Assael

Well, spring sprang. We've had our state of grace and our little gift of sanctioned madness, courtesy of Mother Nature. Thanks, Gaia. Much obliged. I guess it's time to get back to that daily routine of living we like to call normal.

- David Assael

봄이 왔습니다. 우리는 은총을 받았고, 자연이 베풀어준 허가된 광기라는 작은 선물도 받았습니다. 고맙습니다, 대지의 여신님. 매우 감사합니다. 이제 우리가 정상이라고 부르는 일상의 삶으로 돌아갈 때 입니다.

- 데이비드 아셀

As I have seen in one autumnal face.

Beauty, Ralph Waldo Emerson

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.

― Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), Nature and Selected Essays

만약 천년에 하루밤만 별들이 나타난다면, 사람들은 그 별들을 얼마나 믿고 사랑할까? 많은 세대 동안 잠깐 보였던 신들의 도시에 대한 기억을 소중히 간직할 것이다. 그러나 매일 밤 이러한 아름다움의 특사가 다가오고, 그들의 타이르는 듯한 미소로 세상을 비춘다.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson, 자연과 선택된 수필

Art, Aldo Leopold

Our ability to perceive quality in nature begins, as in art, with the pretty. It expands through successive stages of the beautiful to values as yet uncaptured by language.

Nature, Sir J. Lubbock

Earth and Sky, Woods and Fields, Lakes and Rivers, the Mountain and the Sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.

Natural gas, George W. Bush

Natural gas is hemispheric. I like to call it hemispheric in nature because it is a product that we can find in our neighborhoods.

Beauty, Mary Oliver

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
call to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”

― Mary Oliver
