93. Curry County, Oregon. . . . the poor joiner, working at his wood, Knew not the tree from which the planks were taken, Knew not the glade from which the trunk was brought, Knew not the soil in which the roots were fast, Nor by what centuries of gales the boughs were shaken, But holds them all beneath his hands at last V.

As John Hay has written, we are “destroyers who are incapable of identifying our victims.”From Turning Back, A Photographic Journal of Re-exploration

“There are no pretty girls on my beat. Only the homeless mental patients, the overflow of the social service agencies, the derelicts,” said the officer. “The politicians and social workers think if they don’t see them, they don’t exist. Well, they do exist, and I’m expected to wipe the shit off the streets for them.”

La Garde-Malade. Décidément, il n’y a que les fruitières pour vous procurer de belles connaissances. Un épileptique, un hydrophobe et une folle!….. si l’épicier pouvait me faire avoir avec ça la maladie de poitrine qu’il m’a promise, c’est ça qui me ferait joliment du bien!
[The Nurse. No question, the fruit vendors are the only ones who introduce you to interesting cases… an epileptic, a hydrophobic, and a lunatic!… And if the vendor could get me that case of tuberculosis he promised, it would really do me some good!]
