IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

        The written language is one of the few things that keep a civilation
together.  Without a language or any other type of communication, there would
be no distinction between us and other animals. Because language is so
important to our species, we need to do whatever we can keep it alive.

Description:
        The papers were bicubic_patches.  
        The table is a normal plane with a wooden texture.
        The ink vase is a simple CSG of a lathe and a torus
        The candles and candle stands are also CGSs
        The flame is a cylinder with a media statement
        The feather is an object created by Pascal Baillehache's feather include

By the way, this is my first entry into the IRTC and any comments a critism will
