ABSTRACT
The Mediterranean vaster seas? One must realize that a continental sameness, a hardened rotation, a salient pursuit of day upon day, and year upon year, outdistances impressions of variegated and extemporary Nature, brings wholesale famine or wholesale plenty of one kind, enforces or obscures the simple and immense structure of which human life is a fragment and under which it is subsumed. Man is part of the landscape-Chinese paintings show him thus-and his animals and the animals which are not his are likely transmigrations of his aspect.
