• Organic life beneath the shoreless waves
  Was born and rais’d in Ocean’s pearly caves
  First forms minute, unseen by spheric glass,
  Move on the mud, or pierce the watery mass;
  These, as successive generations bloom,
  New powers acquire, and larger limbs assume;
  Whence countless groups of vegetation spring,
  And breathing realms of fin, and feet and wing.

  Erasmus Darwin

Here we are safe! This is freedom! This is joy!

• ¿Hay alguna lección sobre cómo ser amigos? Creo que lo que significa es que para vivir una vida buena es fundamental perdonar. Somos criaturas de contacto, independientemente de si nos besamos o nos herimos. Aun así, debemos unirnos.

Así que nos abrimos sabiendo muy bien que estamos diciendo "por favor, ven a perforar mi caparazón".
