Word
“Acts
of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets, but humbler
folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how. To plant a pine,
for example, one need be neither god nor poet; one need only own a
shovel. By virtue of this curious loophole in the rules, any clodhopper
may say: Let there be a tree - and there will be one.”
–Aldo Leopold
