Epigraph:

We shared their delight.

Their festival mood became our mood;

we all revelled in a common abundance

& in each others wellbeing. -Aldo Leopold

If not we ourselves, the day will come

when our children will undo what we have foolishly done. - Edward St John

This vanishing world is beautiful beyond our dreams

It contains in itself rewards and gratification

never found in the artificial landscape

or man-made objects so often regarded

as exciting evidence of a new world in the making - Olegas Truchanas
