Quotes from Henry Beston

sharpened and the house will have an odd little way of opening doors by itself and leaning to one side.

The animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions 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 splendor and travail of the earth.

Learn to reverence night and to put away the vulgar fear of it.
