  1. Rick Bass _ The Hermit's Story

    There is romantic nonsense these days about the beauty of death, about the terrible end becoming the lovely beginning, and I think that's wrong, a diminution of the beauty of life. Death is as terrible as birth is wonderful. The laws of physics and nature-not romance-dictate this. It occurs to me that sometimes even nature-raw, silent, solemn, and joyous nature-fears, even if only slightly, rot.
