ECOSYSTEM

Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man; space, the air, the river, the leaf. Art is applied to the mixture of his will with the same things, as in a house, a canal, a statue, a picture.

Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put.
