This could be used as a rejoinder to the environmentalists. "Either - Or."

Ah, the big trees look stronger because of the factory, somehow! As if they are a gateway to it! Or a frame---good purpose for their being. The tombstones matter not; it is the living that count---tree, factory, rising!

A graveyard is where industry would go if the religion of Environmentalism had their way. But as St. Augustine said, "give me chastity...but not yet."

I agree with you on the environmentalism and I also agree with St. Augustine!

In this, miss, I invent the sky. The other elements are from parts of photos.
