“The Laws of Nature are just, but terrible. There is no weak mercy in them. Cause and consequence are inseparable and inevitable. The elements have no forbearance. The fire burns, the water drowns, the air consumes, the earth buries.

—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

“I just come and talk to the plants, really—very important to talk to them, they respond I find.”
