To preserve our places and to be at home in them, it is necessary to fill them with imagination, To imagine as well as see what is in them. Not to fill them with the junk of fantasy and unconsciousness, for that is no more than the industrial economy would do, but to see them first clearly with the eyes, and then to see them with the imagination in their sanctity, as belonging to the creation.
(Wendell Berry)
