“Bulldozed by Luther and Weyerhaeuser
Crosscut and chainsaw
squareheads and finns

Trees down
Creeks choked, trout killed, roads.”

“They who know of no purer sources of truth, who have traced up its stream no higher, stand, and wisely stand, by the Bible and the Constitution, and drink at it there with reverence and humility; but they who behold where it comes trickling into this lake or that pool, gird up their loins once more, and continue their pilgrimage toward its fountain-head.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
