    “At twelve, the disintegration of afternoon
    Began, the return to phantomerei, if not
    To phantoms. Till then, it had been the other way:
    One imagined the violet trees but the trees stood green,
    At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
    The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “The “control of nature” is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and the convenience of man.”
    —Rachel Carson (1907–1964)
