I had thought always, and in fact, had written this in my first book; this was a book about gardening, that lawns were nature under culture's boot, that they were totalitarian landscapes, and that when we mowed them we were cruelly suppressing the species and never letting it set seed or die or have sex.
Siempre había pensado y, de hecho, lo había escrito en mi primer libro, que los prados de césped eran la naturaleza bajo el yugo del cultivo, que eran paisajes totalitarios, y que cuando lo cortamos estamos reprimiendo cruelmente a la especie al no dejar que ponga sus semillas, se muera o se reproduzca.
