More From Adrienne Rich

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

Both ground- rents and the ordinary rent of land are a species of revenue which the owner, in many cases, enjoys without any care or attention of his own. the annual produce of the land and labour of the society, the real wealth and revenue of the great body of the people, might be the same after such a tax as before. ground-rents, and the ordinary rent of land are, therefore, perhaps the species of revenue which can best bear to have a peculiar tax imposed upon them.

The great ecosystems are like complex tapestries - a million complicated threads, interwoven, make up the whole picture. nature can cope with small rents in the fabric; it can even, after a time, cope with major disasters like floods, fires, and earthquakes. what nature cannot cope with is the steady undermining of its fabric by the activities of man.
