Wilderness...!

Wilderness...!
In the world's audience hall,
the simple blade of grass
sits on the same carpet with the sunbeams,
and the stars of midnight.

~ Rabindranath Tagore

“Wilderness” : from the Old English -ness + wild + deor, “the place of wild beasts.” Samuel Johnson defined it as “a tract of solitude and savages.” William Bradford, a founder the plomouth Colony reacted to the New World with horror, calling it “hideous & desolate. . . full of wild beasts and wild men.” The most widely collected work of Enlightenment Comte de Buffon’s thirty-six-volume ‘Natural History,’ proliferates with words like “grotesque,” “nauseous,” “pestilential,” “terrible” and
“filth” ~ Page 7
