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.
Am crezut intotdeauna, de fapt am si scris asta in prima mea carte-- si acea carte a fost despre gradinarit-- ca pajistile erau natura sub cizma civilizatiei. Ca erau peisaje totalitare. Si atunci cand le tundeam le suprimam crud speciile si ca nu le dadeam voie sa dea samanta, sa moara sau sa se inmulteasca.
