Seeing the Nymphs Naked?

[M. Demetrius]

Could "seeing the nymphs naked" be a lofty metaphor for having lived long times in the wild, and seen Nature in many of its various visual/sensory impressions? Not as romantic, as some folks, I guess. Nymphs were said to be nature spirits, usually depicted as lovely females, who were tied to specific locales...river nypmhs, forest, mountain, meadow, whatever. They were said to be able to do you good or ill, at their choice, and some apparently were said to have direct interactions with certain people.

I don't think I really believe in nymphs, though, not as usually portrayed.
