The colour green surpasses all other colors for Beauty and ravishes the souls of those who look upon it; when in the fresh springtime that buds open to new life and, reaching upward with their pointed leaves, almost thrusting death downward in an image of the future resurrection, all rise up together toward the light. What more can we say of the works of God, when we so admire even false imitations of them, fruit of the human mind, which deceive the eyes? ~ page 125
