"The plant strains its whole being in one single plan: to escape above groud from the fatality below; to elude and transgress the dark and weighty law, to free itself, to break the narrow sphere, to invent or invoke wings, to escape as far as possible, to conquer the space wherein fate encloses it, to approach another kingdom, to enter a moving, animated world."
-Maurice Maeterlinck, The Intelligence of Flowers
