Caress the face of water,
Before the planting is done.

Sunday Papers: Tom Bissell


"Environmentalism suddenly struck me as the most obvious philosophy imaginable: Let us not ruin forever where we live and work and breathe and eat. Earth’s future inhabitants will no doubt look upon our current environmental practices — maintained despite all manner of evidence that doing so will result in planetary ruin — roughly the way we look upon eighteenth-century surgery. And that is if we, and they, are very lucky."

April is the cruelest month,
If the land's only color is
A lingering grey.
