Nature
Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The study of nature is a large, if not the only, part of science. Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena.
Nature
Because God created the Natural – invented it out of His love and artistry – it demands our reverence.
C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), God in the Dock, 1948.
Nature
Into this wild abyss,
The womb of Nature and perhaps her grave.
John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667; 1674), Book II, line 910.
Nature
What more felicitie can fall to creature
Than to enjoy delight with libertie,
And to be lord of all the workes of Nature,
To raine in th' aire from earth to highest skie,
To feed on flowres and weeds of glorious feature.
Edmund Spenser, The Fate of the Butterfly, line 209.
