...ironic that St. Patrick's Day, the time of shamrocks and wearin' of the green, should come when Memorial Drive's own soon to bloom greenery stands threatened. Today's green holiday looks forward to warm spring reveries beneath the sycamores. But the Metropolitan District Commission would take away the trees to make roads of our riverbanks...
...Arizona, the Colorado has made the desert bloom. But by the time the river crosses the border, the Mexicans complain, the water has been used and re-used so often for irrigation of high-alkaline land that it is "poisoned with U.S. salt."

Menotti is simply not glib enough to be much of a humorist; he suffers a naiveté that is a virtue as well as a vice. He is a man who is truly touched by life. As his past masterworks nobly demonstrate, a passion for the world can be as much a blessing to the composer as in this case...
