Point of View
a | READ lately in a book on farming and country life a story about a land girl and a farm worker. The land girl asked the farm worker: ‘What do you think about when you are going up and down the field on your tractor?’ The farm worker, being human, did not say anything about the richness of the earth, its fruitfulness, about the beauty of the sky, and so on. He said: ‘I looks at the blank earth and I says-blast it!’" -From a talk by Geoffrey Grigson in the BBC’s General Forces Programme. |
