Anna''
in there where none intrudes
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.
G. G. Byron
