This is a dangerous move which threatens to undermine our institutions. God knows what would happen if the Harvard clubs were required to take in all who applied for membership. Already there are signs that an insidious levelling influence is at work here. Even the Stag Club isn't as exclusive as many os us would like to see it, and there are some pretty seedy looking characters in Mike's club these days. One thing leads to another.

Carried away by his precept and example, the farmers reduce their planting to what they can eat, turn their animals loose, crowd their fallow land with narcissi, make friends with a stag and his doe. Having set up his earthly paradise, Giono regretfully proceeds in his closing chapters to knock it to pieces. He does so none too logically. Jean Giono has a genius for observing, and recording, the splendors of the natural world, the beauty of natural tasks and pleasures...
