Ah, my child, those dissection rules now—too careful with gloves and masks! In our time, we learned taxonomy by staining slides ourselves and knew each leaf by its smell in the field. The books today forget the hands must get dirty to know life. You see, I still press flowers in my old field notebook, and the ink has blurred but the memory hasn't.
