In no modern country in the world has the forest feeling remained so alive as in Germany. The rigidity and parallelism of the upright trees, their density and their number fills the heart of the German with deep and mysterious joy. He still likes to visit the forest where his ancestors lived and feels one with the trees. […] The forest of the temperate zone has its vivid rhythm. The eye loses itself, along the visible trunks, into a distance that is always the same. (E.Canetti “Mass and Power”)
