If we can revise our attitudes towards the land under our
feet; if we can accept a role of steward, and depart
from the role of conqueror; if we can accept the view
that man and nature are inseparable parts of the unified
whole—then Tasmania can be a shining beacon in a
dull, uniform, and largely artificial world.

Olegas Truchanas, 1971

Direct your eye right inward, and you’ll find
A thousand regions in your mind
Yet undiscovered. Travel them, and be
Expert in home-cosmography.

William Habington, ‘To My Honored Friend Sir Ed. P. Knight’,
in Walden by Henry David Thoreau
