The animal shall not be measured by man.
In a world older and more
complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with
extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear.
They are not brethren; they are not underlings;
they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow
prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.
~Henry Beston, The
Outermost House, 1928
