“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

A Crucial Ultramarine Question

...thanks Adrian Ivakhiv for asking where the Yes sample is. It's from Close to the Edge, it's the birdsong and water sounds from the first half minute or so of the tune, and it comes on at the start of “Lights in My Brain.” Thanks to others of you who have written in expressing fondness for Every Man and Woman Is a Star.
