FENÊTRE

 

“The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history,

stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book,

to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly,

but living poetry like the leaves of a tree,

which precede flowers and fruit ~

not a fossil earth, but a living earth;

compared with whose great central life

all animal and vegetable life is merely parasitic.”

 

~ Henry David Thoreau ~

THE SHELTER

 

“The evolution of the brain not only overshot

the needs of prehistoric man,

it does not know how to use.”
