Angus Mowat who have helped me
with this book more than I can say.

Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated
artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the
glass of his knowledge and sees tliereby a feather magnified
and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for
their incompleleness, for their tragic fate in 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.

— from The Outermost House, by Henry Beston
