Arcadia in a Sicilian Painting
ARCADIA in a Sicilian Painting It was a thick grove of white poplars, flowering thorns and intricate thickets, in which a thousand amorous vines intertwined, and with tight lacing enwound. In the fields, that could be seen at a little distance, it seems that Mistress Nature wanted the earth to compete with the beauty of the stars of the sky by the variety of Her panoply of flowers. And it was there that the Springtime of the Fables unrolled Her painted carpets, for the gardens of Jupiter: or not otherwise than in the great stained-glass windows of variegated squares and triangles and such in mosaic, all seen in vast swaths of undulating change, and the sunflowers beam on the meadow.

Redistribution of Land
REDISTRIBUTION OF LAND Roman Civil War(s) and the Pax Augustae [American Civil War and the Pax Romana]: Empire and Public Things: moveable herds and the great epochs of Manifest Shepherding, pumped-up by state funds, said to be truly destined. Elizabethan land redistributed, this dear dear land laid out for lease, rearrangement after the punishment pains of civil rebellion musketeers. Newly owned, the pastoral lay improved, and the wool industry booming once again. Cattle ranchers and shepherds, the war between—Spain and Britain and France—now a New World—Colonialization or the colonization by colonials, by apportioning, lot by lot, this Land, let out to lease like a tenement, carved out to...whom? the highest bidders? the favorites of the Chieftain? Beautiful for spacious skies. Can you still see the herdsmen with their droves of llamas and alpacas making their way past the potato-fields? What adjunct of grekkish-latino roots in English: relation with the Romances. America the Beautiful. What Republic? it seemed Manifest Destiny to be named TERRA NOSTRA ‘cause this land is your land, this land is my land, public lands in public hands, the seed and semen of the Feudal Way, Privates in Private hands: what private redistribution exploits as resource? but what’s the use of protest delimiting serfdoms. Your land and my land. Now it is I who sit here and play my reed in peace, and it is you who will have to go into urban exile. But we will switch places and roles, each in turn. But then again not a one of us owns this land on the contrary this dear land owns us all and is the ultimate devourer who will at last eat us up in great mouthfuls O devouring earth will swallow us up all for one and one for all which is why there will always be must always be someone to versify.
