from The Choice

Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-fly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky ---
So this wing'd hour is dropt to us from above.
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When twofold silence was the song of love.

--- Dante Gabriel Rossetti  (1828-1882)

Two-legged creatures we are supposed to love as we love ourselves.  
The four-legged, also, can come to seem pretty important.  
But six legs are too many from the human standpoint. 

--- Joseph W. Krutch
