On nature

"Nature" said Thoreau in his journal, "is mythical and mystical always, and spends her whole genius on the least work."

The Creator, I would add, churns out the intricate texture of least works that is the world with a spendthrift genius and an extravagance of care. This is the point.

Pilgrim at tinker Creek, Annie Dillard
