Creatures
"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."
