I don't believe this; I don't believe in nationhood, and I hardly have patriotism or love of any country. I'm not sure where "rights" comes into play - one can feel whatever one wants about anything to be sure - it's a question of what one does with these feelings.

On this subject, I want to mention -- a discovery from recent, reflective years -- that patriotism and love of country are rights, probably natural ones, and probably the desire for it is inherent, and living in this country, our need for love of country goes unmet, frustrated, dissatisfied, that poetry is a country, then, one we love.
