“That tree out there, how green? How many leaves? Many thousands, hanging taught, stretched stems pulpy with parenchyma, fleshy with growth, glutinous, gluttonous growth, dripping growth till it grows weary and there is no more growth, then it dies and drops brownly to the green earth and lies dead.” — Gordon Roddick, 1963
