Humanity has
passed through a long history of one-sidedness and of a
social condition that has always contained the potential of
destruction, despite its creative achievements in
technology. The great project of our time must be to open

transcend the cleavage between humanity and nature that came

O if we but
knew what we do when we delve or hew -- hack and rack the
growing green! Since country is so tender to touch, her

to mend her we end her, when we hew or delve: after-comers
cannot guess the beauty been.
-- Gerard Manley Hopkins
1844-1889, British Poet
