Richard Jefferies Breath Quotations

A kestrel can and does hover in the dead calm of summer days, when there is not the faintest breath of wind. He will, and does, hover in the still, soft atmosphere of early autumn, when the gossamer falls in showers, coming straight down as if it were raining silk.

An inspiration - a long, deep breath of the pure air of thought - could alone give health to the heart.
