I have thought that the word America must mean different things to the people who live under its aegis. I would that for each of them it might be symbolized by one — at least one — memory of some aspect of unspoiled nature. America — wide, far-reaching, insouciant — has been the amphitheater for our civilization. I wish each of us could appreciate its vast beauty, and could see how far the elements of our civilization fall short of the sheer majesty of our America.
