Your destiny is a mystery to us, for we do not understand when the buffalo are all slaughtered, the wild horses are tamed, the secret corners of the forest heavy with scent of many men, and the view of the ripe hills blotted by talking wires. 'Where is the thicket? Gone. Where is the eagle? Gone. The end of living, and the beginning of survival.'
