Quotable Bailey
Nature does not become senile; it pauses, and then resurrects.
- L.H. Bailey
Carriage barn at the Liberty Hyde Bailey Museum, South Haven, Michigan
Many times I hear people say there is no thing that is perfect. I strongly disagree. When I wander in the field and witness a doe and her fawn, of the symmetry of flower, I am a witness to perfection. I must say, that I find elements of "perfect" in nature. And of course, when nature renews itself in the spring, once again I marvel at its perfection.
