Book Club: Friday July 15, 8 pm Paris Time, 2 pm New York time
Dearest Friends,
The next Book Club meeting is today Friday, July 15th : 8pm Paris time, 2 pm New York time. Lisa will be hosting.
This week, we can all bring a favorite quote and perhaps start our conversation with this from an unknown author:
"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals.
Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err.
For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension 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."
