It ran so: In the centre of all things is a mighty Heart, which, having begotten all things, loves them; and, having born them into life, beats with great throbs of love towards them. No death for His dear insects, no hell for His dear men, no burning up for His dear world His own, own world that he has made. In the end all will be beautiful.
By this arrangement the tin boxes arrived at their destination as good as new, and were quite invaluable for travelling, as they each formed a handy load, and were alike proof against the attacks of insects and bad weather.
Free equally from the enervating heat and insects of high summer, and the numbing rigour of the Eastern winter, the days passed in dignified procession, calm and temperate, roseate with the blazing foliage of autumn, and gay with geraniums and marigolds.
Father Ocean completely ignores the existence of the human insects that dare to slip across his surface in microscopic cockle-shells. He does not inform himself as to the incidents that may be taking place upon the roof of his dwelling. His life continues on, balanced, calm, infinite, engendering millions upon millions of beings in the thousandth part of a second.
She heard the dogs barking by the tents of the nomads and the noises of the insects, but still she did not feel the horse underneath her.

"Doesn't this flock want to mix up with the other?" asked Miss Laura, as she stepped into the little wooden house. "No; they seem to understand.
Humming-birds, to my mind, have a much closer resemblance to the solitary wood-boring bees and to dragon-flies. It must also be borne in mind that insects have very little time in which to acquire experience, and that a large portion of their life, in the imago state, is taken up with the complex business of reproduction.
That the mouth of an animal can migrate seems at first impossible, but if we had time to examine the embryology of annelids and insects, it would no longer appear inconceivable or improbable. And its backward migration brought it among the legs which were grasping and chewing the food. And in vertebrates the mouth has changed its position, though not in exactly the same way.
Geoffroy, the old historian of the insects of the vicinity of Paris, was the first to find in the waters of the Seine a small animal resembling one of the Daphnids. This animal has six short and slender thoracic legs, which terminate in a hook and are borne on the under side of the cephalic shield.
