“I like what I see now in China, but I think the Japanese are a step ahead into craziness and weirdness. I go to galleries there that are the size of a New York elevator, and every time I'm surprised by the amazing things I find.

“And to lose the chance to see frigatebirds soaring in circles above the storm, or a file of pelicans winging their way homeward across the crimson afterglow of the sunset, or a myriad terns flashing in the bright light of midday as they hover in a shifting maze above the beach -- why, the loss is like the loss of a gallery of the masterpieces of the artists of old time.” WayLightArtistLosesChanceLossStormCirclesBeachSunsetConservationSoarMasterpieceShiftingFilesGalleryMazesOld TimeCrimsonBright LightsNature ConservationAfterglowPelicans Book:Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia Source: Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia
