There is a Pleasure in the Pathless Woods

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.

- Lord Byron, "There is a Pleasure in the Pathless Woods"

Poems, Karuta

Impassionate gods have never seen such Tatsuta River, crimson that flows above, the water below.
