RT @nick_routledge: What of the Gardener’s insight, enfleshed, of the co-evolving bond between planet and person, natural and man-made realms, soil and soul? What, indeed, of the bond between Garden and Cyberspace, of the dirt under the fingernails of these, my transmitting fingers? #RemembranceDay

@conalabu @ahistoryinart 1/ "Supposing him to be the gardener." After his son's death, Kipling wrote, "If any question why we died, Tell them, because our fathers lied." (Epitaphs of the War) An early, prominent supporter of the Great War, he wrote 'The Gardener' while searching for John's grave.
