Lewis Gesner, of America, walked around the village, collecting rubbish, attaching pieces of it to his legs, and dragging it along after him. More and more pieces of garbage collected, until he could no longer pull it all. Perhaps this is a critique of us, who are accustomed to discarding waste everywhere. But perhaps he wants to express the weight of life that burdens the Americans because they have already created all too much "garbage of life" on the surface of the earth.
