“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)



🖼️ Caspar David Friedrich, 1824

he make it through the haunted wood before
the sun had set, and by all means he must
avoid the ruined church -- yet here he was.

🎨 Caspar David Friedrich, "Ruinen in der Abenddämmerung (Kirchenruine im Wald)" -- (1831)
