“
The end of poetry is not to create a physical condition which shall give pleasure to the mind... The end of poetry is not an after-effect, not a pleasurable memory of itself, but an immediate, constant and even unpleasant insistence upon itself.
— Laura Riding

Ciptaan menghancurkan seiring berjalannya waktu, menjatuhkan satu pohon untuk kemunculan pohon lainnya. Tetapi umat manusia yang ideal akan menghapus kematian, menggandakan dirinya jutaan demi jutaan, membangun kota demi kota, menyelamatkan setiap parasit hidup, sampai akumulasi keberadaan belaka membengkak menjadi kengerian. Asli: Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.
