new kinds of education, new definitions and practices of work, new
kinds of settlement and land-use." Or at least from these alone. A certain
insoluble separation from other people and other things, a certain
fragmentation of time and relation may be what all of us are doomed to
feel, not only
as
consumers and capitalists but also as citizens of what
one Renaissance poet (whom Williams does not mention) called the
"bank and shoal of time." At the end Williams reverts to a vision of
renewal in itself pastoral, one that springs from an acknowledged sense
of loss. But he leaves unexamined his own somewhat enameled hope that
the inevitable processes of time, both personal and historical, can be
reversed and that we can return to that remote condition when country
and city were
as
close as self and family.
