“There had been a time, a very long time, when there’d been no humans on this land, and Graff believed that someday it would be that way again. All that men had done to prove their ownership, their mastery, would be undone. In time as it was reckoned by humans, this might be a long while coming, but it would come, In the reckoning of the earth, it would take place in less than a heartbeat.”
