".....I have wondered about trees.

They are sensitive to light, to moisture, to wind, to pressure.

Sensitivity implies sensation. Might a man feel into the soul of a tree

for these sensations? If a tree were capable of awareness, this faculty

might prove useful. "

"The Miracle Workers" by Jack Vance
