Summary

This quote highlights the paradoxical nature of humanity's abilities and impacts on the environment. It suggests that humans possess immense power and intelligence that enable them to bring about both positive and negative changes in the world. The phrase "he makes the deserts bloom" implies that humans have the capacity to transform arid lands into flourishing ecosystems, showcasing their ability to bring about growth and abundance. On the other hand, the line "lakes die" emphasizes the destructive potential of human actions, as humans also possess the ability to cause irreparable harm and even the extinction of vital natural resources. Ultimately, this quote serves as a reminder of the duality within human beings and the responsibility we have to preserve and protect our environment.
