“There is pleasure in the pathless woods,
there is rapture in the lonely shore,
there is society where none intrudes,
by the deep sea, and music in its roar;
I love not Man the less, but Nature more.” Lord Byron

Inspired by Lord Byron’s poem

(tanka)

seeking solace
humankind may fail, unless
compassion rules
nature never disenchants
soothing soul by rapids`roar
