“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

Your Actual Pub

A very nice one, The Last Jar just around the corner from this hotel. Heard very good things about the food. Pie and a pint of Guinness in cold weather. Life could not be sweeter--well it could but that would involve finishing the last few pages of this essay version of "They Are Here" which I'm doing for Richard Grusin. (See Past Talks.)
