"Ce n'est pas tant pour sa beauté que la forêt revendique les cœurs des hommes que pour ce quelque chose de subtil cette qualité de l'air cette émanation des vieux arbres qui change et renouvelle si merveilleusement un esprit fatigué"
— Robert Louis Stevenson
Simplified Meaning:
Spending time in a forest isn't just about admiring its looks; there's something special about the air and the feeling you get from being around old trees that truly refreshes and uplifts your mood. Imagine you've had a hard day at work, and you're feeling tired and stressed. If you go for a walk in a forest, you'll notice how the fresh air and peaceful atmosphere help you feel better. The quiet and the surroundings work together to calm your mind, almost like they're giving you new energy. Just like how visiting a beautiful garden might lift your spirits or make you feel relaxed, a forest does the same but even more deeply, thanks to the age and presence of the towering trees. These natural places have a special power to make you feel renewed and more at peace with yourself.
