I'm trying to keep a blog. So here is...
My Blog



We can't for long preserve the fine arts if we neglect or destroy the domestic arts of farming, forestry, cooking, clothing, building, homemaking, community life, and local economy.
We can't talk to any purpose about the "beauty" of religious art and architecture if we hold religion categorically in contempt.
We can't preserve alive the great poems and stories, as Kathleen Raine wrote, "in the context of a culture not only unlike, but in its fundamental premises opposed to" the cultures that produced them.
We can't preserve historic buildings to any purpose or for very long outside the contexts of community life and social economy.
In short, we can't preserve the best of human and earthly life merely as a museum of obsolete artifacts, rare creatures, and unusual scenery.

-Wendell Berry (The Way Of Ignorance)
