In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,

"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."

And I hope that opinion will soon turn in the direction of municipal intervention in these affairs, wherever municipal intervention is adequate, and I will tell you why...I believe that in municipalities the area of supervision is sufficiently small, that people concerned come up in sufficiently close quarters with the matters of administration to enable them to avoid all the dangers, risks, and wastes to which the general state of capitals is open.
