“The true gardener then brushes over the ground with slow and gentle hand, to liberate a space for breath round some favourite; but he is not thinking about destruction except incidentally. It is only the amateur like myself who becomes obsessed and rejoices with a sadistic pleasure in weeds that are big and bad enough to pull, and at last, almost forgetting the flowers altogether, turns into a Reformer.”

“Forward the Light Brigade!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“And the member for the constituency
Feeds the five thousand, and has plenty back.”
—William Robert Rodgers (1909–1969)
“As night returns bringing doubts
That swarm around the sleeper’s head
But are fended off with clubs and knives ...”
