"Science of Life, Class in Session (Sonnet 2087-2088) Nature doesn't kill anybody, nor does it save anybody - life and death are human constructs, just like beauty and the grotesque - nature is above all that, not in an almighty, all-knowing sort of way, but more of an indifferent sort of way - because in nature, nothing's born, nothing dies, they just change shape, and some of those shapes are sentient, some intelligent, some neither - and each identity gets restructured as they go through the shape-shifting, which includes restructure of sentience, or non-sentience, as the case may be. Same elements that make the nonsentient stars, when they change shape into organic material, such as humans, they produce sentience, but as a human corpse decay into nature, those elements get absorbed into the soil, into trees, bugs, and all sorts of creatures, thus they seep into a diverse range of sentient and nonsentient materials - and thus the cycle continues, from the birth of the universe till the end of the universe - beyond that, I don't know - nobody does - it doesn't matter what happens after, what matters is, how you behave now.
