mother Earth
Ive travelled all over the Earth. Ive gone through kingdoms and cities, countries and villages. Ive rummaged into the kings castles and in the farmers houses, into the inns and the grand hotels, I've looked among the most precious clothes and finest scents of East. Ive gone to see the monarchs and the richest and most powerful men of the planet But I havent been satisfiedI didnt find a bed as soft as the fine ocean sand. I didnt find a velvet more caressing than the new born moss. I never met such a palace able to compare the starry vault of sky. So much I walked on the Earth but I didnt find a carpet more comfortable then the green grass of the meadow, not a perfume stronger than some flowers. I never felt such a deep peace as a springtime evening. So much I searched among the intellectuals, in the libraries and the museums, in the churches and the academies, but I didnt find a book more interesting than the life, not a work more expressive of what I see every day before me and I havent found a best answer than the Earth that offers me every time the bread and a home, and a beautiful picture of shapes and colours and true music to fall asleep. |
