“Is not that the noblest thing, indeed,
That of all other things has least need,
As God which reigns etern in bliss?
Is not He the noblest thing that is?
…
And likewise that thing that has most need
Is the thing that is most wretched.
So sufficiency is ever nobleness
And necessity is ever wretchedness…”

A Georgic Poem:
Love is give and take,
like clouds burst in a lake,
streams feed roots of trees hugging their banks,
and puddles make clouds when they evaporate.
The fertile mother’s womb yearns to take seed from her mate,
and the father’s arms yearn to hold the new life her labor gives.
So it is, by give and take we live.
There is wish-fulfillment,
delusion, fetish, totem,
and real Love-Need too!
In this there’s harmony,
just as two striving enemies
draw breath from the same source
in one accord.
We need it and it’s there,
just like life-giving air.
In Truth, the Spirit of Love is in the air we breathe.
I now sing of a rigid and unyielding law,
evident in human tools or by animal claw:
Earth’s good fruit is more abundant where we work.
Do you want to eat the fruit of your land?
Do not withhold the labor of your hand.
Beware of drought and desolation.
They come in stages.
The first fatal overstep rejects
the landmarks of past ages.
Humanity lives by that in which there’s life:
fruit seeds and herbs;
love’s labor between man and wife.
Trim your encroaching hedge.
Or even better yet:
with stone walls that stand strong
endow your heritage.
Let Life’s essentials be your primary school.
Don’t neglect fruitful plots
to tend long stubborn crops
of shallow dirt, thorns, and rocks.
Leave some trees for shade.
Wood is good to burn in winter,
but in the summer heat
shade trees will keep you cool.
Barren central plans are like the homosexual
whose way you must forego.
Be not like the Soviet who threw seed on the snow.
For there’s a destructive productivity
that is built on death,
like past Communist factories
which the Capitalist West subsidized.
Such is the gestating death
sown between sodomites.
Their children are bought and sold,
trafficked in the name of “adoption.”
You must shun this sin
like a salted field
for their perverse mock “marriages”
are hearses and funeral carriages
drawn to the grave
by disease and sores,
not horses,
carrying death in their train.
Like small foxes in your vineyard,
drive such lust from your brain.
Be diligent in all you do!
Your diligence will reward you!

Alexander Solzhenitsyn:
“In 1934 Pskov agronomists sowed flax on the snow — exactly as Lysenko had ordered. The seeds swelled up, grew moldy, and died. The big fields lay empty for a year. Lysenko could not say that the snow was a kulak or that he himself was an ass. He accused the agronomists of being kulaks and of distorting his technology. And the agronomists went off to Siberia.”

“Arrests are also differentiated by the thoroughness of the required search;1 by instructions either to make out or not to make out an inventory of confiscated property or seal a room or apartment; to arrest the wife after the husband and send the children to an orphanage, or to send the rest of the family into exile, or to send the old folks to a labor camp too.
No, no: arrests vary widely in form….
- And there is a separate Science of Searches too. I have had the chance to read a pamphlet on this subject for correspondence-school law students in Alma-Ata. Its author praises highly those police officials who in the course of their searches went so far as to turn over two tons of manure, eight cubic yards of firewood, or two loads of hay; cleaned the snow from an entire collective-farm vegetable plot, dismantled brick ovens, dug up cesspools, checked out toilet bowls, looked into doghouses, chicken coops, birdhouses, tore apart mattresses, ripped adhesive tape off people’s bodies and even tore out metal teeth in the search for microfilm. Students were advised to begin and to end with a body search (during the course of the search the arrested person might have grabbed up something that had already been examined). They were also advised to return to the site of a search at a different time of day and carry out the search all over again.” ↩︎

“… Lenin and his heirs have had the sometimes knowing, sometimes unknowing, cooperation of the United States State Department every step of the way.
Every communist country in the world literally has a “Made in USA” stamp on it.”
