There is nothing so much alive, and yet so quiet, as a woodland; and a pair of people, swinging past in canoes, feel very small and bustling by comparison. And surely of all smells in the world, the smell of many trees is the sweetest and most fortifying.

没有什么像树林这样充满生机，却又如此宁静；相比之下，两个划着独木舟经过的人，显得既渺小又忙乱。世间所有气息中，许多树木汇成的芬芳，无疑最甜美，也最振奋人心。
