Как элегантно Гротендик "опустил" аналитиков в "Урожае и посевах", описывая свой опыт перехода от анализа к алгебраической геометрии

I still remember this strong impression (completely subjective of course), as if I was leaving dry and gloomy steppes and finding myself suddenly in a sort of "promised land" of luxuriant richness, which spread out to infinity wherever one might wish to put out one's hand to gather from it or delve about in it.
