"I went to the Garden of Love, And saw what I never had seen; A
Chapel was built in the midst, Where I used to play on the green.
And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.
And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires."
William Blake.

Warriors of the Rainbow, protectors of the environment."
