| I kept thinking of Is a River Alive by Robert Macfarlane while reading this. (He makes the case that rivers 'live' like any other organism and need to be protected.) I've always been a little hesitant to agree with this approach without knowing why. ...more | |

| It only took me 45 years to truly appreciate Keats. At least I got there eventually. What I discovered was that my favorite parts of (young) TS Eliot were Keats impressions. | |
“Men deft men mental men of loving men all men
Vile men virtuous men same men from which men
Sweet and men of mercy men such making men said
Has each man that sees it
Cry as men to the men sensate

And humble especially
Young men of sheepish privilege becoming
Sweet new style”
