Some walls have ears and some fences have... a snout?
“To an eagle or to an owl or to a rabbit, man must seem a masterful and
yet a forlorn animal; he has but two friends. In his almost universal
unpopularity he points out, with pride, that these two are the dog and
the horse. He believes, with an innocence peculiar to himself, that
they are equally proud of this alleged confraternity. He says, 'Look at
my two noble friends -- they are dumb, but they are loyal.' I have for
years suspected that they are only tolerant.”
- Beryl Markham, West With the Night
