“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things.”

And talk of the old country—mud and boards,

The snow falling down and necks of lovers.”
