News at Eleven: This sense of quietude which Nature presents

us is often violated by means with which we measure human progress. The Industrial Revolution saw the birth and growth of cities that first served as centres for rich manufactures and later as hubs of education, employment and opportunity. They took us away from the verdant lap of Nature, both physically and psychologically. In the 'Song', Amy Lowell (1874-1925) bemoaned how the new nuclei of development felt like torturous trappings for some.
