Alone in the woods I felt <br />The bitter hostility of the sky and the trees <br />Nature has taught her creatures to hate <br />Man that fusses and fumes <br />Unquiet man <br />As the sap rises in the trees <br />As the sap paints the trees a violent green <br />So rises the wrath of Nature's creatures <br />At man <br />So paints the face of Nature a violent green. <br />Nature is sick at man <br />Sick at his fuss and fume <br />Sick at his agonies <br />Sick at his gaudy mind <br />That drives his body <br />Ever more quickly <br />More and more <br />In the wrong direction.<br /><br />Stevie Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-in-the-woods/
