A Rare Re-Blog.

Thanks to Victoria for posting this:

"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, naturalist and author 1888 - 1968

Isn't that just the most splendid summation of an attitude that is both realistic and beautiful at the same time?
