Besides, cooked flesh is but the law
for baser sorts of man.
Top people (vide Bernard Shaw)
Are vegetarian.

How graceful, then, to climb on high
And pluck with leisured hands
The fruits that dangle from the sky
In green and tropic lands.

O gentle project! Humane plan!
O heaven...and oh, hell.
It was, of course, by fruit that Man
Was tempted once--and fell.
