Their majestic awe, their studied quietness, their ambivalence, their timelessness, their unbending firmness, and their tranquil aura—are all things that we want, yet strangely—elude us.…

Scientists studied fossilised leaves on the island of Borneo, and have discovered the current dominant tree group, the dipterocarps, has covered the rainforests for at least four million years.
