it less amazing, that the same soil and the same sun should nurture plants
differing in the first rule and law of their existence.
~ Jane Austen

If I thought I was going to die tomorrow,I should nevertheless plant a tree today.

I measure myself
Against a tall tree
I find that I am much taller,
For I reach right up to the sun
With my eye;
And I reach to the shore of the sea
With my ear.
Nevertheless, I dislike
The way the ants crawl
In and out of my shadow.
- Wallace Stevens
