"To see or to perish is the very condition laid upon everything that makes up the universe,
by reason of the mysterious gift of existence. And this, in superior measure, is man’s condition."
--- from The Phenomenon of Man

"Someday, perhaps in the very process of our benefactions, perhaps in the fullness of geological time,
the last crane will trumpet his farewell and spiral skyward from the great marsh. High out of the clouds
will fall the sound of hunting horns, the baying of the phantom pack, the tinkle of little bells, and then
a silence never to be broken, unless perchance in some far pasture of the Milky Way."
--- from A Sand County Almanac
