Orientalism
Romain Gary
What progress requires inexorably of human beings and of continents is that they should renounce their strangeness, that they should break with mystery; and somewhere along that road is inscribed inexorably the end of the last elephant. The cultivated lands must encroach upon the forests, and the roads will bite more and more deeply into the quietude of the great herds. There will be less and less room for natural splendor. A pity.
Romain Gary, The Roots of Heaven

Ephantus Mwenda Njagi
Writing endures beyond celestial bodies, serving as the conduit for history, the foundation of science, and the enhancer of wisdom.
Ephantus Mwenda Njagi, The Girl From America
