...to Any One For Whom Wild Things

There Is Time Not Only To See Who Has Done What, But To Speculate Why.

Wilderness Is A Continuous Stretch Of Country Preserved In Its Natural State, Open To Lawful Hunting And Fishing, Big Enough To Absorb A Two Weeks' Pack Trip, And Kept Devoid Of Roads, Artificial Trails, Cottages, Or Other Works Of Man.

Whoever Invented The Word 'grace' Must Have Seen The Wing-folding Of The Plover.

Wilderness Is The Raw Material Out Of Which Man Has Hammered The Artifact Called Civilization.

But Wherever The Truth May Lie, This Much Is Crystal-clear: Our Bigger-and-better Society Is Now Like A Hypochondriac, So Obsessed With Its Own Economic Health As To Have Lost The Capacity To Remain Healthy. . . . Nothing Could Be More Salutary At This Stage Than A Little Healthy Contempt For A Plethora Of Material Blessings.
