"Let them stand still for the bullet, and stare the shooter in the eye,
let them die while the sound of the shot is in the air, let them die as they fall,
let the jugular blood spring hot to the knife, let its freshet be full,
let this day begin again the change of hogs into man, not the other way around,
for today we celebrate our lives' wedding with the world,
for by our hunger, by our provisioning, we renew the bond."
-Wendell Berry
Mere words cannot describe how beautifully this encapsulates the relationship of man and beast. Had to post. More original content later.
