The earth tells us more about ourselves than any book. Because it resists us Man discovers himself when he measures himself against the obstacle. But to reach it, he needs a tool. He needs a plane, or a plough. The peasant, in his plowing, little by little wrests some secrets from nature, and the truth he brings out is universal. In the same way the plane, the tool of the airlines, mixes the man with all the old problems.
