Sy Montgomery Quote

In his classic The Outermost House, American naturalist Henry Beston writes that animals are not brethren, they are not underlings but beings gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are, he writes, other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.
