Omnis mundi creatura
Quoted in The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, I find this inspiring and moving. There are deep connections between the state of earth’s animals and earth’s human animals.
Omnis mundi creatura quasi liber et pictura nobis est in speculum; nostrae vitae, nostrae mortis, nostri status, nostrae sortis fidele signaculum. |
All the world's creatures, as a book and a picture, are to us as a mirror; our life, our death, our present condition, our passing are faithfully signified. |
