The higher animals are the only ones who exclusively do their own work and provide their own living.
Mark TwainRead

Little sleep's-head sprouting hair in the moonlight, when I come back we will go out together, we will walk out together among, the ten thousand things, each scratched too late with such knowledge, the wages of dying is love.
