The baby new to earth and sky <br />Has never until now <br />Unto himself the question put <br />Or asked us if the cow <br /> <br />Is higher in the mental scale <br />Than men like me and you, <br />Or if the cow refrains from food <br />Till she finds work to do. <br /> <br />'The baby new to earth and sky,' <br />As Tennyson has written, <br />Just goes ahead and sucks a teat <br />Like to-day's great men in Britain.<br /><br />Ezra Pound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-baby-4/
