According to nature

pg.11 Meditations -Marcus Aurelius

Things that are produced according to Nature
contain something pleasing and attractive
Baked bread, split at certain parts
excite a desire for eating
Figs when ripe, gape open
Ripe olives , near to rottenness add a peculiar beauty
Ears of corn bending down
Lion's eye-brows

If a man shall examine them, severally in stillness
They please the mind - of Man
But to him only - who has truly become familiar
with Nature and her works!
