Philosophy and Nature

Do philosophers learn nothing from observations of nature?
Observe, the precarious launch of day, and the solemn passing
of night.You see dreams of autumn wilt and decay into
bronze memories,only to emerge re-shapened in the throaty
swallows of spring.Does not the sea moan more loudly at night,
and murmur during the day?After the rain shower, does the sun
not gleam with silvery pride.Old dreams die, but the green shoots
of new will emerge in their place.
Time is your ally, surender to it, & your ransom is secure.
