" [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 [;] other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendid and travail of the earth "

― Henry Beston , The Outermost House: A Year of Life On The Great Beach of Cape Cod
