“Sometimes since I’ve been in the garden I’ve looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast.

So it must be all around us. In this garden – in all the places.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden
