The Harmony of the Water-Wheel

Today nature would seem to serve only functions for the sake of humanity, which has somehow abstracted itself from nature. Nature is regarded as a harlot from whom her riches are to be exploited. The water-wheel comes from a time when nature was regarded for what she is, a beautiful and poetic discourse of God's revelation of himself. In this way nature was to be respected and humanity is then self-conscious of the fact that it is a concrete and inextricable part of nature.
