It has arrested ten thousand lightning flashes of genius, which, unless thus fixed and arrested, might have been as bright, but would have also been as quickly passing and perishing, as the lightning.”

Shall we never tire of deceiving, betraying, tormenting animals before they cease to trust us?””
