I had thought always -- and in fact, had written this in my first book; this was a book about gardening -- that lawns were nature under culture's boot, that they were totalitarian landscapes, and that when we mowed them we were cruelly suppressing the species and never letting it set seed or die or have sex.
Ma olin alati mõelnud, ja kirjutasin sellest isegi oma esimeses raamatus -- see raamat rääkis aiandusest -- et õuemuru on loodus, mis on surutud kultuuri saapatalla alla. Et muru on totalitaarne maastik. Ja et kui me muru niidame, siis me surume seda liiki julmalt alla ning ei lase neil iialgi seemneid levitada, surra või seksida.
