Background
A description of the experience
Pere Teilhard de Chardin – Phenomenon of Man
the entire spectrum of life – the universe of the insects whose 'reliable' species are counted in tens of thousands; by the molluscs, thousands more, inexhaustibly variegated in their marblings and their convolutions; by the fishes, unexpected, capricious and as prettily marked as butterflies; by the birds, hardly less extravagant, of every form, feather and beak; by the antelopes of every coat, carriage and diadem. And so on and so on. And for each word, which brings to our minds a dozen manageable forms, what multiplicity, what impetus, what effervescence. And to think that all we see are merely survivors!
