Yep, it just gets faded out real quick-like. I prefer the US cover--no copy-paste dudes is a plus, and I like the darker look overall--but the prominent glacier was probably the piece's best feature.
"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

I wish that glacier was more visible as I really liked the vultures flying around it. I found the copy-paste soldiers really distracting from the original piece. I prefer this version.
