A poem by Icelandic author Gyrðir Elíasson, from his collection Quasars. A FEW WORDS ON NATURAL BEAUTY for the occasion It is undoubtedly strange, but I find more than enough beauty in crushed and withered grass, in a barren field of rock, in moss on a stone, in dooryard dock reaching up from burnt soil. The mountains need not be soaring, the sea need not always be blue, and the trees, though nice, are not indispensable. And there can be rain, and wind, and whatever else the everyday cares to bring with it.
