In a world that is cutting down its trees to build highways, losing its earth to concrete ... babies are almost the only remaining link with nature, with the natural world of living things from which we spring.”

“No gray hairs streak my soul,
no grandfatherly fondness there!
I shake the world with the might of my voice,
