"I think I could turn and live with animals,
they are so placid and self-contain’d,
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,
Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,
Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago,
Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth."
Walt Withman "Song of myself"

"Creo que podría transformarme y vivir con los animales.
¡Son tan apacibles y dueños de sí mismos!
Me paro a contemplarlos durante tiempo y más tiempo.
¡Son tan apacibles y dueños de sí mismos!
Me paro a contemplarlos durante tiempo y más tiempo.
No sudan ni se quejan de su suerte,
no se pasan la noche en vela,
llorando por sus pecados,
no me fastidian hablando de sus deberes para con Dios.
Ninguno está insatisfecho,
a ninguno le enloquece la manía de poseer cosas.
Ninguno se arrodilla ante otro,
ni ante los congéneres que vivieron hace miles de años.
Ninguno es respetable ni desgraciado en todo el ancho mundo".
Walt Withman "Song of myself"
