A quote from 田園雑感 (Miscellaneous Thoughts on the Countryside, 1912) by Torahiko Terada.
Here is a more literal translation as an additional guide for any that might wish to translate the quote through English:
In the countryside, the grass as well as the trees as well as the rocks have breaths that sink of humans, [and they] accost me (to say something to someone you are not in a conversation with, usually to start a conversation), [and they] cling/grasp on to me; but in the city, even the passengers of a full train packed tight are silent just like pebble(s) on riverbed(s), and each is thinking about him/herself.

This sentence was initially added as a translation of sentence #4310857
In the countryside, the breath of the grass, the trees, and the rocks has the foul smell of humans. They call to me from all directions, and they cling to me. But in the city, even in a jam-packed train, every passenger is as quiet as a pebble on the riverbed, and every one of them is only thinking of themselves.

➜ #4310857田舎では草も木も石も人間くさい呼吸をして四方から私に話しかけ私に取りすがるが、都会ではぎっしり詰まった満員電車の乗客でも川原の石ころどうしのように黙ってめいめいが自分の事を考えている。
