Photographers Unknown, Man and Flower
“The moon is beautiful partly because we cannot reach it, (the sea is impressive because one can never be sure of crossing it safely). Even the pleasure one takes in a flower — and, this is true even of a botanist who knows all there is to be known about the flower, is dependent partly on the sense of mystery.”
—George Orwell, Pleasure Spots, The London Tribune, January 11, 1946
