Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones.

It was the Law of the Sea, they said. Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not always right at the top.

When men come to like a sea-life, they are not fit to live on land.

Man and animals are in reality vehicles and conduits of food, tombs of animals, hostels of Death, coverings that consume, deriving life by the death of others.
