I am all that I see . . .

"Man is not himself only, not solely a variation of his racial type
in the pattern of his immediate experience. He is all that he sees;
all that flows to him from a thousand sources . . . He is the land,
the lift of its mountain lines, the reach of its valleys; his is the
rhythm of its seasonal processions, the involution and variation
of its vegetal patterns. If there is in the country of his abiding,
no more than a single refluent color, he takes it in and gives it forth again - as a manner, as music, as a prevailing tone of thought, as the pattern of his personal adornment."

Mary Austin
