A Natureza

(Link)

«The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls».

and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you
like the leaves of Autumn.
