My brother Jeff, who died from this poisoning, was a scholar of Western Civilization. Sometimes here in Vermont, we would walk up through the sugar woods on our family’s old property. Once, when we had finished our loop through the woods, and reached the top of the upper meadow he looked around and said, in his vague sort of way, “Haven’t the dryads done a lovely job!”
He once told me how at the beginning of our modern times, the nymphs and the dryads wept, “Pan is dead!” Here is a poem by Wordsworth.

The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;—
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not. Great God! I’d rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathèd horn.
