Henry David Thoreau’s Walden “…To front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discovered that I had not lived… I wanted to live deep and suck all marrow out of life… to know it by experience and to be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion…”. Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring “To the bird watcher, the suburbanite who derives joy from birds in his garden, the hunter, the fisherman or the explorer of wild regions, anything that destroys the wildlife of an area for even a single year has deprived him of pleasure to which he has a legitimate right…Over increasingly large areas of the United States, spring now comes unheralded by the return of the birds, and the early mornings are strangely silent where once they were filled with the beauty of bird song... Can anyone imagine anything so cheerless and dreary as a springtime without a robin’s song? ” Christopher Cerovac
