Where the sewage flows from the village,
And the empty cans and garbage are dumped,
And abortions are hidden.”

None the less they embody the concentrated experience of the race and the man who orders his life according to their teaching cannot go far wrong.”
—Norman Douglas (1868–1952)
“For me, poetry is always a search for order.”
