We went fishing the first morning. I felt the same damp moss covering the worms in the bait can, and saw the dragonfly alight on the tip of my rod as it hovered a few inches from the surface of the water, It was the arrival of this fly that convinced me beyond any doubt that everything was as it always has been, that the years were a mirage and that there had been no years.

In the kitchen cabinet is a bag of oranges for morning juice. Each orange is stamped 'Color Added.' The dyeing of an orange to make it orange is man's most impudent gesture to date. It is really an appalling piece of effrontery, carrying the clear implication that Nature doesn't know what she is up to.

The impression one gets from campaign oratory is that the sun revolves around the earth, the earth revolves around the United States, and the United States revolves around whichever city the speaker happens to be in at the moment. This is what a friend of mind used to call the Un-Copernican system.
