"And Nature, the old Nurse, took / The child upon her knee, / Saying, ‘Here is a story book / Thy father hath written for thee. / " ‘Come wander with me,' she said, / ‘Into regions yet untrod, / And read what is still unread / In the Manuscripts of God.' / "And he wandered away and away / With Nature, the dear old Nurse, / Who sang to him night and day / The rhymes of the universe." / - Longfellow
