"We treat them with condescendence for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having formed so far below us." And in this we are wrong, and we are wrong greatly. Because man is not the measure of the animal. In a world older and more complete than our own, they evolve finished and complete, with expansions of the meanings we have lost or never reached, living through voices we will never hear. "They are not our brothers; they are not our subordinates; they are other nations, caught with us in the net of life and time, companions of the splendor and fatigue of the Earth." (Henry Beston)
