The cities we do not need at all. The cities make 

 people think like men who have fallen sick and are lying 

 in bed with fever. Only on farms or deep in the forest, 

 or out on the river while you fish, can you think a thing 

 out clearly. For there your life goes quietly, and you learn 

 only what is worth while.
