Henri Le Sidaner
you know, that
lovely region where the soul returns
to itself and enjoys sweet repose;
Claude Monet
where
everything exudes peace and tranquillity;
Johannes Weissenbruch
where
the soul, in the presence of God’s immaculate creation,
shakes off the yoke of
convention, forgets society and frees itself
from its bonds with the vigour of
returning youth;
Robert Julian Onderdonk
where every thought takes on the form of prayer;
Claude Monet
Henri Lebasque
Henri Matisse,Tea
harold harvey
John Henri Twachtma
Stormy Sea, Brighton (Detail) - John Constable
where the heart is emptied of everything that is not
in harmony with the freshness
and freedom of nature.
Judith Bridgland
Oh, there the weary soul finds calm; there,
the exhausted man regains a youthful strength.

days
of ineffable joy for my soul: smiling at the sun
when, in all its majesty, it
casts its first rays over
the horizon; watching the countryside awaken and
catching the first notes of the glorious hymn it
addresses to heaven; roaming
heaths and forests
Henri Martin
questioning my soul — and thinking — scrutinizing
and admiring the life of plants and animals, taking
deep breaths of the pure air, stopping, going on,
turning back, and talking out loud in the solitude;
dreaming of splendid things: of God, of the future,
of our dear Flanders, of peace and love.
Claude Monettitle and all lines from Henri Conscience's Le conscrit (The conscript)
