Nature repairs when Humans are not around

Nearly two years back I was fascinated to seeing turtles released at night on the resorts private beach in Mexico.

You all know this, its famous. By Sara Teasdale.

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white,
Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

Then you have never red Ray Bradbury, The Martian Chronicles!

I know this author and I have seen a lot of his short stories in his Ray Bradbury theater. (I can't remember them though)

I have not read the Martian Chronicles.

The poem appears in I think the second last chapter of TMC. Many people learned about the poem by reading TMC, it became somewhat popular again after they turned TMC into a TV miniseries in the 80s I think, the films were not that good, but rose interest in Bradbury again, at least in Germany. Its by this TV project that I learned about Bradbury myself, started to investigate his work, and fell in love with his books in record time, within two days I had bought all books that at that time were available in German translations, and also placed an order for two English readers with his complete short novels, in English.- At that time, mid-80s, that still was a time-consuming and expensive issue...

Since then I'm a fan. Dandelion Wine probably is my favourite by Bradbury.

A fine book, from back in the days when science fiction was thought-provoking; not just an excuse for putting modern man in weir situations.

It will take some time until nature repairs this. Surely only after humans are not around
