Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Mère Nature appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
L'éthique de l'Antiquité, en particulier chez les épicuriens, est de suivre la Nature : sequere naturam. Cette Mère Nature était spiritualisée, comme l'indique Robert Lenoble dans son Histoire de l'idée de nature.
— Ça fait beaucoup trop longtemps que Mère Nature fait ce qu'elle veut. Il est grand temps de l'empêcher d'édicter toutes ses lois. Il se peut qu'elle ait nourri cette planète depuis une bonne centaine de millions d'années, mais elle l'a aussi terrorisée.
