There is 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 (George Noel Gordon) 1788-1824
Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, canto IV [1818], stanza 178

In God's wilderness lies the hope of the world,
the great, fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness.
 —John Muir (1838-1914), Alaska Wilderness, 1890
