The young physician 2

The green trees, when I saw them first through one of the gates, transported and ravished me; their sweetness and unusual beauty made my heart to leap and almost mad with ecstasy,—they were such strange and wonderful things. The skies were mine, and so were the sun and moon and stars,—and all the world was mine,—and I the only spectator and enjoyer of it.

THOMAS TRAHERNE.

Gli alberi verdi, quando li vidi per la prima volta attraverso uno dei cancelli, mi trasportarono e rapirono; la loro dolcezza e la loro insolita bellezza mi fecero sussultare il cuore e quasi impazzirono per l'estasi: erano cose così strane e meravigliose. I cieli erano miei, e così erano il sole, la luna e le stelle, e tutto il mondo era mio, e io ne ero l'unico spettatore e beneficiario.
