'I also heard the voices of the trees; this whole world of flora lived as deaf-mutes whose signs I devined and whose passions I uncovered: I wanted to talk with them and to be able to tell myself, by this other language - painting - that I had put my finger on the secret of their majesty." - Theodore Rousseau
