Paul Bunyan discovered it, and the Bunyan saga tells how he floated many a log down its restless waters. "No one has suspected Paul of speaking in para bles, yet in this instance he did. not only had a round river, Wisconsin is one. The current is the stream of energy which flows out of the soil into plants, thence into animals, thence back into the soil in a never-ending circuit of life." Implicit in Leopold's writing is the idea that the entire earth is also a round river. And we-the humans who live on the river-are bound up with it, part and parcel of the environment that we affect and are affected by. |
