“Attachment to anything you privately and intensely appreciate can make you as intolerant, irrational, and possessive as a demented lover. you don't have to know the object of your attachment; to be the only one who meets its gaze is sufficient; sitting among animals has this danger along with the rest. For so few sit there, and so little is known by those few, and what is known is so vital and so callously disregarded by outsiders. If outsiders would make the same commitment you've made, everything would change, but should they look and not make it, the violation would be unbearable . . . so this place is private. And sacred. Go away.”
