We need our independent bookstores.  This Pablo Neruda quote used to hang outside City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco.

Tyranny cuts off the singer’s head

   But the voice from the bottom of the well

   Returns to the secret springs of the earth

   And rises out of nowhere through the mouths of the people.

Erosion
Flowers rise from rock
Trees withstand wind, fog, and salt.
