“Then they grow away from the earth
then they grow away from the sun
then they grow away from the plants and the animals.
They see no life.
When they look
they see only objects.
The world is a dead thing for them
the trees and the rivers are not alive.
the mountains and stones are not alive.
The deer and bear are objects.
They see no life.
They fear.
They fear the world.
They destroy what they fear.
They fear themselves.”
