"For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and
more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with
extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by
voices we shall never hear. They are not bretheren; they are not
underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net
of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the
Earth." -- Henry Beston
