Some quotes from the video:

Wall of Sound
'Early every morning I wake up to the sound of birds singing. Singing is an understatement. It starts about an hour before sunrise and for about two hours, they open all the stops in their organ. And while competing for attention together they mix what I started calling Nature’s ‘Wall of Sound’.'

Middle Ages
'Can you image, knights in white satin along our quiet path leading from the citadel to Thonne-les-Près to Chauvency le Chateau.'

Under pressure
'I wonder whether nature is driven by a Darwinian efficiency to improve quality and keep up a race with man and his technology? For millions of years it was able to run at a leisurely pace, but now it is straining.'
