What is Silent Spring?

Results will go up on the main page late afternoon, with full stats early evening. They will be seen in the comments section at the bottom of the main page.

That Keats line in the clue actually served as an epigraph to Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. It was influencial enough that it led to a ban on DDT in agriculture and also led to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
