Quote by Walt Whitman

After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on -- have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear -- what remains? Nature remains.

After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics

Summary

Nature acts as a refuge, reminding us of its timeless significance when all else fails to provide lasting gratification.
