Richard Jefferies Life Quotations

The impression left after watching the motions of birds is that of extreme mobility - a life of perpetual impulse checked only by fear.

Now is eternity; now is the immortal life.

O beautiful human life! Tears come to my eyes as I think of it. So beautiful, so inexpressibly beautiful! The song should never be silent, the dance never still, the laugh should sound like water which runs forever.
