    “In Wildness is the Preservation of the World” 
    by Eliot Porter

    Each new year is a surprise to us.  

    We find that we had virtually forgotten the note of each bird, and when we hear it again it is remembered like a dream, reminding us of a previous state of existence.  

    How happens it that the associations it awakens are always pleasing, never saddening; reminiscenses of our sanest hours? 

    The voice of nature is always encouraging.
