All that Glitters is not Green

subject

description

The painter, carrying his easel, walks leisurely across the meadow that extends up to the limits of the summer sky. Under a chestnut tree he prepares his palette and his colors, then stretches and smiles. He is wearing a cotton shirt and slacks; a straw hat covers his curly hair. He walks barefoot because he likes the feel of the grass under his feet. This painter loves nature; he loves nature as an artist and as a scientist. This painter is a nuclear physicist, and his job consists in harnessing the elementary power of the atom, the one that makes the stars glow, in order to generate the power and hydrogen his town uses.
