"I think I could turn and live with animals. They are so placid and self-contained. They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins. They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God. Not one of them kneels to another or to his own kind that lived thousands of years ago. Not one of them is 'respectable' or 'unhappy', all over the earth."

-Walt Whitman, "Song of Myself" (Section 32)

BLESSED BELTANE!
