Reviving the Lost Art of Naming the World: Without the power to order and name life, a person simply does not know how to live in the world, how to understand it. How to tell the carrot from the cat — which to grate and which to pet? They are utterly lost, anchorless in a strange and confusing world. Because to order and name life is to have a sense of the world around, and, as a result, what one’s place is in it. Ernst Haeckel, Kustformen der Natur, showing a variety of humming birds *>
