The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate
deserts.

C.S. Lewis. The Abolition of Man: Reflections on Education with Special

(Riddel Memorial Lectures).

It also makes be ask about how the analogy of jungles & deserts is
applicable (or not) to pedagogy in the domain of digital humanities...
