W. S. Merwin Quotes
In the time that I have been acquainted with this region I have become increasingly aware of it as a testament of water, the origin and guide of its contours and gradients and of all the lives - the plants and small creatures, and the culture - that evolved here.

The gardener who ignores it is soon left with no garden.
