God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought,
disease, avalanches and a thousand straining, leveling
tempests and floods; but he cannot save them from fools,
only Uncle Sam can do that.

Even the scenery habit in its most artificial forms, mixed
with spectacles, silliness, and Kodaks: its devotees
arrayed more gorgeously than scarlet tanagers, frightening
the wild game with red umbrellas -- even this is encouraging,
and may well be regarded as a hopeful sign of the times.

Climb Electric Peak when a big bossy, well-charged
thunderstorm is on it, to breathe the ozone set free, and
get yourself kindly shaken and shocked . . . Every hair of
your head will stand up and hum and sing like an enthusiastic
congregation.
