    “Bulldozed by Luther and Weyerhaeuser
    Crosscut and chainsaw
    squareheads and finns
    high-lead and cat-skidding
    Trees down
    Creeks choked, trout killed, roads.”
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    “Wachusett hides its lingering voice
    Within its rocky heart,
    And Allegheny graves its tone
    Throughout his lofty chart.
    Monadnock, on his forehead hoar,
    Doth seal the sacred trust,
    Your mountains build their monument,
    Though ye destroy their dust.”
    —Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)
