Letter from Eugène Lemercier to his mother, Marguerite Lemercier, relating his contemplation of a tree,

1914 December 12 and 13.

His walk in the woods, where three months earlier there were many corpses on the ground which have now disappeared, made him realise that in the grand scheme of things human violence, which upset emotions, does not really disturb nature and "eternal harmony".
