While dangling from various sites looking for some quotes that I did make the intelligent figure during the inevitable discussions about Christmas pollution, climatic disasters, the seasons are no longer used to be etc.. I came across a phrase of David Brower, taken from "Le Nouvel Observateur:
condensed history of the Earth four billion years in six days.
Our planet was born Monday at zero.
Life begins at midnight on Wednesday and is evolving in all its beauty in the three following days.
appear Saturday at 16 large reptiles that are extinguished five hours later, at nine o'clock in the afternoon.
Man appears Saturday only night at midnight at least three minutes.
The birth of Christ is a quarter of a second before midnight.
missing one fortieth of a second when you start the industrial revolution.
Now it's Saturday night, midnight, and we are surrounded by people who believe that what they do to one-fortieth of a second can last forever.
What can I say? I 'always think these things are here. I do not think I can use this metaphor to the Christmas meal with relatives, including a plate of wild boar and a slice of pandoro, I'm afraid not understand.
