It's An Attitude Of Superiority. We Are Superior To The Rest Of Life. The Book Of Genesis Says: 'increase And Multiply And Have Dominion Over The Birds Of The Air And The Animals And So Forth.' You Run It; It's Yours; Do What You Like With It. I Don't Know How Old That Text Is, But It Represents An Attitude That Probably Really Got Going With The Beginning Of Agriculture.

Sitting Over Words Very Late I Have Heard A Kind Of Whispered Sighing Not Far Like A Night Wind In Pines Or Like The Sea In The Dark The Echo Of Everything That Has Ever Been Spoken Still Spinning Its One Syllable Between The Earth And Silence.
