In a small lakefront dwelling deep in the beauty of Finland's pristine forests,
Pentti Linkola spent his days wishing for your death.
Convinced that overpopulation
presents the greatest danger to our fragile biosphere,
the radical environmentalist had long since very sensibly rejected
meretricious notions of 'compassion' and 'love' for his 'fellow' man.
But wishing is not enough.
Nothing is enough, because we are too much and too many.
There is no narrative but that which we impose:
the destruction of Nature by Reason.
Poetry must be the opposite of the obvious.

They think they have it -
but there is no key to the terrible parade.

Note
: These web-pages are
scroll-down
, not just because I'm a web-tyro, but because
(a)
I cannot find any better way of presenting them;
(b)
scrolling down is one of the most wonderful things about the Web -
and an experience rare in the West since Roman times, when the book was invented.
