Guy Combes From Jung and the Story of Our Time, by Laurens Van Der Post:
"There is a kind of conversation I have hardly ever experienced except in Africa, when one is alone in the bush or desert with the minimum of civilised contrivances to diminish the impact on one of that great swollen sea of land, its skies, winds, and clouds, and abundance of vivid and infinitely diversified natural life. Its subjects come up fast in one's senses like a dawn of thunder when over and above the voices of one's African companions, as a rule pitched singularly low out of the instinctive reverence induced by that natural surround standing like a vast cathedral over them, one overhears one's first intimate conversation of nature - the voice of the lion, the passionately intense cough of a leopard, the sound like pistol shot of an elephant tearing a strip of his favourite relish of bark from a tree, the night-plover's sea-pipe call, the bush-buck barking to keep its courage up, a baboon whimpering in some unfathomable nightmare of the tangled bush, the croaking of frogs by some precious star-filled water and the sustained Gregorian chanting of the cricket priests of the night, and overall the smell of the incense of the devout earth evoked by the first fall of dew...."
