“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on 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,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.”
Do you know the quote? If you have any quotes about nature I would like to hear them.
Our Shadows Will Remain 
Yes – This is from Lord Byron’s “Childe Harold’s Pilgimage” I believe it is the 4th Stanza. https://www.rc.umd.edu/editions/poets/texts/childeharold.html
I also love Gerard Manley Hopkins and John Keats for their poems about nature

Many – Here’s one:
Pied Beauty
Glory be to God for dappled things—
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough;
And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise Him.
Gerard Manley Hopkins, 1844 – 1889
