| I associate the garden with the whole experience of being alive, and so, there is nothing in the range of human experience that is separate from what the garden can signify in its eagerness and its insistence, and in its driving energy to live --- to grow, to bear fruit. The universe is a continuous web, touch it at any point and the whole web quivers. Stanley Kunitz (NYC poet who recently passed away at 100 years of age) |
