“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

I believe this is the exact text circulating as "The Compositionist Manifesto." Definitely a good read and listen! :)
An Attempt at a “Compositionist Manifesto,” New Literary History Volume 41, Number 3, Summer 2010.
I managed to download it without academic access, but I forget wherefrom.
