In vain would science scan and trace
Firmly her aspect. All the while,
There gleams upon her far-off face
A vague unfathomable smile.

Additional quotes by Alfred Austin

If Nature built by rule and square,
Than man what wiser would she be?
What wins us is her careless care,
And sweet unpunctuality.

Where all is bought, and nothing's worth the price.

[H]e who saves an ancient tree does better even than he who plants a new one.
