A poem from Samuel Taylor Coleridge<\/p>\n
In Kolgn, land of monks and bones,<\/p>\n
and pavements fang’d with murderous stones,<\/p>\n
and rags, and hags, and hideous wenches,<\/p>\n
I counted two and seventy stenches,<\/p>\n
each one distinct, and several stinks!<\/p>\n
Ye nymphs that watch over sewer and sink,<\/p>\n
the river Rhine does, I think,<\/p>\n
wash clean the city of Cologne;<\/p>\n
but thereafter, what power divine,<\/p>\n
shall wash clean, the river Rhine?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Old ST was a drug addict, a utopian, and a nimrod, but he reminds us that in cleaning up messes, we often soil our own hands. <\/p>\n
Maybe we ought to think about cleaning up this mess before the dirt is too severe to wash off us, once we’ve washed it from the planet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
