Leaves are light, and useless,...

Leaves are light, and useless, and idle, and wavering, and changeable; they even dance; and yet God in his wisdom has made them a part of oaks. And in so doing he has given us a lesson, not to deny the stout-heartedness within because we see the lightsomeness without.
~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers, 1827~
