...and when thou passest by a field in which crops, flowers,
blossoms and vegetables are blended in harmony, it is evident that the field or
the flower bed hath been brought into existence and hath been arranged by an
experienced farmer. And, when thou observest plants that are scattered,
disordered and disarranged, it is clear they have been deprived of the skillful
touch of an experienced farmer, and that they are naught but wild weeds.
