“There is all the difference in the world between looking at something and living with it. In nature, one never really sees a thing for the first time until one has seen it for the fiftieth. It never means much until it has become part of some general configuration, until it has become not a ‘view’ or a ‘sight’ but an integrated world of which one is a part.”
Joseph Wood Krutch, The Desert Year
