ℭody: For what you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing: it also depends on what sort of person you are. We all see the world from behind the grille of our own temperament and character, and even the good things of life may have a quality that seems harsh, dry, and deadly to such a person as I am. You will say, 'These mountains are unchangeable, the wind that blows over us is evanescent.' But if that is true of the wind, it is more obviously true of the things we see and touch. For they are changing all the time. Every time a spade goes into the earth a new valley begins; every time a soldier puts a peg into the ground to pitch his tent a new road appears; every time a seed is planted a new forest springs up. Every time anything is done, something happens.
