Ecology vs Economy

Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, 

then names the streets after them. 

~Bill Vaughn

Under pregnant skies

For the man sound in body and serene of mind 

there is no such thing as bad weather; 

every day has its beauty, and storms which whip the blood do

but make it pulse more vigorously. 

~George Gissing, "Winter," The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft, 1903
