#wilder

For brick and mortar breed filth and crime, With a pulse of evil that throbs and beats; And men are whithered before their prime By the curse paved in with the lanes and streets.

But this is the first and great commandment nonetheless. Even in the wilderness - especially in the wilderness - you shall love him. ↗
