In the forest of Arden the banished Duke and his followers lived a free and peaceful life. The life was more relaxing than the life of court. They spent their summer lying under the shade of the trees. They watched the playful sports of the forest-deer. When the cold winds of winter blew, the Duke would say that the chilling winds were his true counsellors. They did not flatter, but represented his condition truly. He could draw lessons from nature and he found tongues in trees, books in flowing streams, sermons in stones and good in everything.
