After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics,
conviviality, love, and so on — have found that none of these finally
satisfy, or permanently wear — what remains? Nature remains; to bring
out from their torpid recesses, the affinities of a man or woman with
the open air, the trees, fields, the changes of seasons — the sun by day
and the stars of heaven by night.
-Walt Whitman
