“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over…every living thing that moves upon the earth.”
Genesis 1:27-28, RSVCE

“To look at a freshly mowed meadow path, the way it draws such a crisp, syntactical, human line through the soft and billowing, heedless grass, is, I think, to understand the gift of the garden to the wilderness, and its dazzling reciprocation.”
Michael Pollan, Second Nature: A Gardener’s Education
