Consult the genius of the place in all;
That tells the waters or to rise, or fall;
Or helps th'ambitious hill the heav'ns to scale,
Or scoops in circling theatres the vale;
Calls in the country, catches opening glades,
Joins willing woods, and varies shades from shades,
Now breaks, or now directs, th' intending lines;
Paints as you plant, and, as you work, designs.

"All is chaos, and one's only option is to construct meaning, as best possible. He chooses to do so through work. And not just any kind of work, but rather work that has helping others as it's stated goal." Loving this book thus far <3
