Ezra Pound

I say to you with all the fervor of my soul that God intended men to be free. Rebellion against tyranny is a righteous cause. It is an enormous evil for any man to be enslaved to any system contrary to his own will. For that reason men, 200 years ago, pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. No nation which has kept the commandments of God has ever perished, but I say to you that once freedom is lost, only blood - human blood - will win it back.

The sacred rowan is a woman born long, long ago, a woman whose refusal to see love cost first her lover's life, then the lives of her family, her clan, her people.
But not her own life. Not quite.
In pity and punishment she was turned into an undying tree, a rowan that weeps only in the presence of transcendent love; and the tears of the rowan are blossoms that confer extraordinary grace upon those who can see them.
When enough tears are wept, the rowan will be free. She waits inside a sacred ring that can be neither weighed or measured nor touched. She waits for love that is worth her tears.
The rowan is waiting still.

News is the most — the most human thing there is, reflecting the changing picture of our daily lives and the world around us. Fleeting, of course, but essential. A free press is the most vital and important element in a democracy. Why, you can always tell when democracy is threatened because attempts are made to stifle free expression and keep people from knowing what is going on and forming their own judgments.” She added thoughtfully, “It is terrible to see news distorted and falsified for private ends or personal gain or to engender hatred or serve totalitarian purposes as has happened abroad and is happening here every day.
