One of my favorite quotes of all time is a limerick penned by Ronald Knox, based on the hypothesis that in order to exist, you must be seen (similar to “if a tree falls in the woods”). This shot, being of a tree in Drexel’s quad, made me think of it.
There was a young man who said, 'God Must think it exceedingly odd If he finds that this tree Continues to be when there's no one about in the Quad' Dear Sir: Your astonishment's odd: I am always about in the Quad. And that's why the tree Will continue to be, Since observed by Yours faithfully, God.
