From the text:
But the rich green hills break down. They fall tothe valley below, and falling, change their nature. For theygrow red and bare; they cannot hold the rain and mist, andthe streams are dry in the kloofs.| Too many cattle feed uponthe grass, and too many fires have burned it. Stand shodupon it, for it is coarse and sharp, and the stones cut underthe feet. It is not kept, or guarded, or cared for, it no longerkeeps men, guards men, cares for men.
