“Speaking personally, I am attached to the ground.  I would prefer to watch the precipitous movements of the damp foot of a duck as it scratches the back of its head by the side of a lake, or the long sparkling drops of water falling slowly from the mouth of a cow as it stands motionless and up to its knees drinking water from a pond, to anything the cherubim ( those illustrious flying forms) could perceive in their heavens”.
