Can it be that we do not love to be reminded
that we are very young
and callow
in a world that was old when
we came into it?
And could there be a strong resistance
to the certainty
that a living world will
continue its stately way when
we no longer inhabit it?
-- John Steinbeck, Travels With Charley in Search of America
(arranged quote)
