Scythes & Scything

["Lawrence F. London, Jr." <venaurafarm AT bellsouth.net>]

"The very simplicity and nakedness of man's life in the primitive ages 
imply this advantage, at least, that they left him still but a sojourner 
in nature. When he was refreshed with food and sleep, he contemplated 
his journey again. He dwelt, as it were, in a tent in this world, and 
was either threading the valleys, or crossing the plains, or climbing 
the mountain-tops. But lo! men have become the tools of their tools."
