  "The Collected Works of John Muir".

• Las arboledas y matorrales de árboles más pequeños están llenos de enredaderas perennes en flor. Estas enredaderas no están dispuestas en grupos separados ni en delicadas guirnaldas, sino formando pesados montículos. Me siento como en tierra extraña. No conozco casi ninguna de las plantas, pero sí pocos pájaros, y soy incapaz de ver el país por los solemnes, oscuros y misteriosos bosques de cipreses que lo cubren todo.

• The great wilds of our country, once held to be boundless and inexhaustible, are being rapidly invaded and overrun in every direction, and everything destructible in them is being destroyed. How far destruction may go it is not easy to guess. Every landscape, low and high, seems doomed to be trampled and harried. Even the sky is not safe from scath-blurred and blackened whole summers together with the smoke of fires that devour the woods.
