• Monks congregate like dogs in a kennel,
  From contact with their superiors they acquire knowledge,
  Is one the course of the wind, is one the water of the sea?
  Is one the spark of the fire, of unrestrainable tumult?
  Monks congregate like wolves,
  From contact with their superiors they acquire knowledge.
  They know not when the deep night and dawn divide.
  Nor what is the course of the wind, or who agitates it,
  In what place it dies away, on what land it roars.

  Taliesin

  Dog, Night, Wind

• I dwell in Possibility
  A fairer House than Prose
  More numerous of Windows
  Superior--for Doors
  Of Chambers as the Cedars
  Impregnable of Eye
  And for an Everlasting Roof
  The Gambrels of the Sky
  Of Visitors--the fairest
  For Occupation--This
  The spreading wide my narrow Hands
  To gather Paradise

• Even today many educated people think that the victory of Christianity over Greek philosophy is a proof of the superior truth of the former - although in this case it was only the coarser and more violent that conquered the more spiritual and delicate.

• ...But nature does not say that cats are more valuable than mice; nature makes no remark on the subject. She does not even say that the cat is enviable or the mouse pitiable. We think the cat superior because we have (or most of us have) a particular philosophy to the effect that life is better than death. But if the mouse were a German pessimist mouse, he might not think that the cat had beaten him at all. He might think he had beaten the cat by getting to the grave first.

• I am persuaded that if the brutes even--if the dog, the horse, the ox, the elephant, the bird, could speak, they would confess, that, at the bottom of their nature, their instincts, their sensations, their obtuse intelligence, assisted by organs less perfect than ours, there is a clouded, secret sentiment of this existence of a superior and primordial Being, from whom all emanates, and to whom all returns.
