I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you–Nobody–Too?
Then there's a pair of us?
Don't tell! they'd advertise–you know!
How dreary–to be–Somebody!
How public–like a Frog–
To tell one's name–the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!

One goes to Nature only for hints and half truths. Her facts are crude until you have absorbed them or translated them... It is not so much what we see as what the thing seen suggests.
