Sometimes Thou may'st walk in Groves,
which being full of Majestie will much advance the Soul.
Thomas Vaughan, Anima Magica Abscondita

When you enter a grove peopled with ancient trees, higher than
the ordinary, and shutting out the sky with their thickly inter-twined
branches, do not the stately shadows of the wood, the stillness of
the place, and the awful gloom of this doomed cavern then strike
you with the presence of a deity?
Seneca

A virgin forest is where the hand of man has never set foot.

That tree whose leaves are trembling:
is yearning for something.
That tree so lovely to see acts as if it wants to flower:
it is yearning for something.
Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, 1395

Time-honored, beautiful, solemn and wise.
Noble, sacred and ancient
Trees reach the highest heavens and penetrate the deepest secrets of the earth.
Trees are the largest living beings on this planet.
Trees are in communion with the spiritual and the material.
Trees guard the forests and the sanctified places that must not be spoiled.
Trees watch over us and provide us with what we need to live on this planet.
Trees provide a focal point for meditation, enlightenment, guidance and inspiration.
Trees have a soul and a spirit.
Tree Magick by Lavenderwater

I was raised by the song
Of the murmuring grove
And loving I learned
Among Flowers.
Friedrich Holderlin

Tree at my window, window tree,
My sash is lowered when night comes on;
But let there never be curtain drawn
Between you and me.
Robert Frost

There is always Music amongst the trees in the Garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it. Minnie Aumonier

The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn:
God's in his heaven,
All's right with the world!
Robert Browning.
