And so on and on through generations, outliving individuals, customs, dynasties all save the landscape it adorns and human nature till the appointed day when the wind wins the long battle and rejoices over a reclaimed space, or decay puts the last stroke to his fungus-fingered work. Ah, one should always think twice before one cuts down a tree!
