from “The Death of the Moth”
- By Virginia Woolf

It was useless to try to do anything. One could only watch the extraordinary efforts made by those tiny legs against an oncoming doom which could, had it chosen, have submerged an entire city, not merely a city, but masses of human beings; nothing, I knew, had any chance against death. Nevertheless, after a pause of exhaustion the legs fluttered again. It was superb this last protest, and so frantic that he succeeded at last in righting himself. One's sympathies, of course, were all on the side of life. Also, when there was nobody to care or to know, this gigantic effort on the part of an insignificant little moth, against a power of such magnitude, to retain what no one else valued or desired to keep, moved one strangely.

As I sat quietly in the forest, my eyes caught sight of a red fox darting through the underbrush. Its russet fur gleamed in the dappled sunlight, blending seamlessly with the earthy tones of the forest floor. The fox moved with grace and agility, pausing every so often to sniff the air or prick its ears at the sound of a distant rustle. I watched in awe as it stalked its prey, a plump rabbit nibbling on clover nearby. The tension in the air was palpable, a predator and its unwitting prey engaged in a deadly dance. Time seemed to slow as the fox crouched low, muscles coiled like springs, ready to strike. In that moment, nature revealed its raw and unforgiving beauty, the eternal struggle for survival playing out before my very eyes.
