'There are some who maintain that everything exists at the disposal of Man, created so that he may make use of it: animals and plants, water and fire, ether and minerals. According to these people, metals lie within the belly of the earth to be extracted from it with picks; water rains from the sky or is captured by the rocks so that we can drink it, float upon it, turn it into steam to move machines; the moon and planets are in in the sky so that man may contemploate them and who knows, perhaps one day conquer them, dig out their bellies and extract metals from them. How vain all this appears, when we leave for a while the civil consortium, the conglomeration of these human beings, the supposed pivot of the hunverse. How quickly we realise that man is a small and arrogant part of creation, that the sun does not rise to give us a spectacle of colours, that plants do not rise up, challenging bad weather, so that they may be cut up, drowned in vinegar and harvested with a fork.'
