I have been thinking not only of the people who lived there once, but also of the generations of dogs accompanying them in their everyday bustle, and one night— I don't know where it came from— in a predawn sleep, that funny and tender phrase composed itself: a road-side dog." - Czeslaw Milosz, Borderlines.

Coincidentally I have been seeing a whole bunch of DHL movies: Sons & Lovers, Women in Love et al. And I live in Australia where the natural landscape is still alive in so many ways that you cannot escape it. To some extent (and this thought occurred to me when I was reading Maximum City) stories these days are about megacities with large human poulations and this is what we find interesting. Few people would be interested in how we interact with the natural world (or what's left of it) - unless its a Hollywoodian redemptive tale soon to feature Knut, the polar bear. Hi Uma
