We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. 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
Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show.

It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously.
Charles Dickens
