Interesting words
"Do you know the pattern and design of a single leaf? I have looked at forests , I have walked through woods and gone across the continents in trains, I have stared the eyes out of my head trying to swallow up the whole earth at a glance, and I hardly know one leaf from another. I could not draw a leaf from memory if my life depended on it. Can you remember anyone you passed by on the street today? I walk the streets, I see the crowds, I look at a million faces until my brain goes blind and dizzy with all that I have seen, and later all the faces swim and bob about like corks in water. I can't tell one from another, I see a million faces and I can't remember one. If I were young again I'd try to live like that: I'd try to see a forest in a leaf, the whole earth in a single face."
