“Enclosed within his artificial creation, man finds that there is “no exit”; that he cannot pierce the shell of technology again to find the ancient milieu to which he was adapted for hundreds of thousands of years . In our cities there is no more day or night or heat or cold. But there is overpopulation, thralldom to press and television, total absence of purpose. All men are constrained by means external to them to ends equally external. The further the technical mechanism develops that allows us to escape natural necessity, the more we are subjected to artificial technical necessities.”
“Enclosed within the tyranny of our minds and there is where we are lost.”
“Enclosing every thin man, there's a fat man demanding elbow-room.”

“Enclosing your thought
in meaning
is like enclosing a free animal
in a cage.
You cannot expect it to be happy.”
“Enclosure, upon its completion, was the record which represented the achievement of all the musical goals I had been aiming at for the previous 5 years. It was recorded simultaneously with Black Knights' Medieval Chamber, and as different as the two albums appear to be, they represent one investigative creative thought process. What I learned from one fed directly into the other. Enclosure is presently my last word on the musical statement which began with PBX.”
“Enclosures have appropriately been called a revolution of the rich is against the poor. The lords and nobles were upsetting the social order, breaking down ancient law and custom, sometimes by means of violence, often by pressure and intimidation. They were literally robbing the poor of their share in the common, tearing down the houses which, by the hitherto unbreakable force of custom, the poor had long regarded as theirs and their heirs'. The fabric of society was being disrupted; desolate villages and the ruins of human dwellings testified to the fierceness with which the revolution raged, endangering the defenses of the country, wasting its towns, decimating its population, turning its overburdened soil into dust, harassing its people and turning them from decent husbandmen into a mob of beggars and thieves.”

“Encogida a ratos y a saltos después
Sangraron mi vida y a sangre maté.
Sé que, ya paloma, pesado ciprés.
O mata florida, lloré y más lloré.
Ya probando sales, ya probando miel,
Los ojos lloraron a más no poder.
Da entonces lo mismo, que lo he visto bien,
Ser rosa o espina, ser néctar o hiel.
Así voy a curvas con mi mala sed
Podando jardines de todo jaez.”

“Encogida en mi natural empacho, pensaba, callaba y sufría (aunque con impaciencia) la licencia que se han tomado los señores hombres de ser los únicos que griten, los solos que manden y los exceptuados de obedecer.”

“Encompass with your mercy and compassion all animals and creatures. Do not say, "this is inanimate and has no awareness." Indeed, it does; it is you yourself who have no awareness! So let existence be as it is, and be merciful towards it with the mercifulness of the Creator in the midst of His creation.”
“Encontrar a Fedro guiando a Sócrates casi al mismo sitio, quizá lo era, le había impresionado profundamente. El árbol de amplia copa, la verde ladera en que recostarse, el agua fría al pie; sólo faltaban las ofrendas votivas y el santuario. «Concededme ser hermoso por dentro ―había suplicado Sócrates― y haced que las cosas exteriores e interiores se reconcilien».”

“Encore au XIXe siècle, les meilleurs médecins ne savaient pas empêcher l’infection ni arrêter la putréfaction des tissus. Dans les hôpitaux de campagne, par peur de la gangrène, les chirurgiens amputaient couramment les mains et les jambes des soldats même légèrement blessés. Ces amputations, comme toutes les autres interventions médicales (telle l’extraction des dents), se faisaient sans anesthésiques. Les premiers d’entre eux - l’éther, le chloroforme et la morphine - ne devaient être d’usage courant dans la médecine occidentale qu’au milieu du XIXe siècle. Avant l’usage du chloroforme, il fallait quatre soldats pour maintenir un camarade blessé tandis que le médecin coupait le membre blessé. Le lendemain de la bataille de Waterloo (1815), on pouvait voir des monceaux de mains et de jambes coupés au voisinage des hôpitaux de campagne. En ce temps-là, les charpentiers et bouchers enrôlés dans l’armée servaient souvent dans le corps médical parce que la chirurgie exigeait à peine plus que de savoir manier le couteau et la scie.”

“Encounter w/ strange man June 3, approx. 2 a.m. White, 5'9", slightly scruffy, shaggy brown hair. Ripped T-shirt, jeans, no shoes. Origin and destination unknown, believed to be night wanderer.
I chewed on the end of the pen, wondering if I should include any other details. It had been too dark to tell what color his eyes were. His voice had been deep, with a rasp, almost... but I couldn't write that. If my body was found in the woods behind the house, and investigators were competent enough to do a forensic analysis of this notebook, I didn't want editorializing words complicating the narrative. Words like compelling, or god forbid, sexy.”
