The tree was the framework within which one "flew" to these Otherworlds.

It was a natural model for our deepest wisdom, our highest aspirations.”

“The evergreen! How beautiful, how welcome, how wonderful the evergreen! When one thinks of it, how astonishing a variety of nature! In some countries we know that the tree that sheds its leaf is the variety, but that does not make it less amazing, that the same soil and the same sun should nurture plants differing in the first rule and law of their existence.”
