Where to from here?
“The beauty and genius of a work of art may bey g yreconceived, though its first material expression bedestroyed;y
a vanished harmony may yet again inspire they y y g pcomposer;
but when the last individual of a race of living thingsbreathes no more, another heaven and another earthmust pass before such can be gained”
William Beebe, The Bird, 1906
