« Sous cette masse énorme où se fondent les rocs, l'humus, les plantes, les arbres, les eaux, le Luberon est une présence secrète dont tant de matière n'est, pour le regard, que le visible, mais pour notre pensée, un mystérieux appel à la connaissance de l'être. » 

( Henri Bosco, "Le Luberon", dans Richesses de France, n°56, le Vaucluse, 3ème trimestre 1963)
