Yearning for Peace
Bearing the Olive Branch
Offering the Olive branch with pure thought
The secret is knowledge
Aeneid
Virgil (70-10BC)
High on the stern Aeneas his stand,
And held a branch of olive in his hand,
While thus he spoke: "The Phrygians' arms you see,
Expelled from Troy, provoked in Italy
By Latian foes, with war unjustly made;
At first affianced, and at last betrayed.
This message bear: The Trojans and their chief
Bring holy peace, and beg the King's relief."

Yes, the secret is knowledge. I also believe that one learns from beauty in nature. They go hand in hand.
