From "A More Mystical View of Animals"
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 splendor and travail of the earth.
Henry Barton
English clergyman and writer
