the machine in the garden makes sounds

The State of Massachusetts is considering regulating noise generated by wind turbines. People who live near recent installations have complained about the relentless woosh of the huge blades cutting through the air.
I am sure that people who have highways built near their houses have similar complaints. As far as I know, turbines do not create combustion byproducts, so they still have an edge over many other loud industrial systems.

This is the machine in the garden. It is the compilation of the sublime and the mundane  that encompasses desire, artistry and fear.A hunter-gatherer society cannot comprehend it, but all that we do in our modern world sustains it.
