The poem "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus"‚ by William Carlos Williams‚ portrays in writing the painting by Brueghel. The piece depicts the Greek myth of the tragedy of Icarus‚ a boy who flew too close to the sun with wax wings and fell into the sea to his death.

“Whose nature?”. Cronon begins by remarking how people disagree about nature and how the main message in his book is that this argument is inevitable. He says‚ “Nature becomes our dogma; the wall we build around our own vision to protect it from competing views. And like all dogma‚ it is the death of dialogue and self-criticism. This is the seductive power. This is the trap it has set for us.” In his view‚ nature will always be a contested terrain and it’s meaning will always be the basis for all
