George(by Philip)

George

"We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of
having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and
greatly err. 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 brethren, 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, circa 1925
