“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 don't think that I am, at this moment, stuck in glue. Instead I am reading your "Dark Ecology of Elegy" and smiling a lot. I had no idea one could do philosophy (or criticism, or what have you) like that. It's the absolutely opposite of what I experienced/underwent in grad school -- I would call it... juicy! A joy for which I thank thee!
