CHAPTER X Laddie Takes the Plunge "This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honors thick upon him; The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And, when he thinks, good, easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do." "Watch me take the plunge!" said Laddie.

LXVI And toward hell their lazy wings display, To wreak their malice on the damned ghosts; The birds that follow Titan’s hottest ray, Pass not in so great flocks to warmer coasts, Nor leaves in so great numbers fall away When winter nips them with his new-come frosts; The earth delivered from so foul annoy, Recalled her beauty, and resumed her joy.

Not every day is awful. Not every day is good. Despite the way the hours pass I’m living like I should. Not every day is all wrong. Not every day is right. At least I’m not a spider trying to scamper out of sight. Not every day is ideal. Not every day is bad. At any rate I have my senseseven if they’re mad. Not every day is happy. Not every day is glum. When sadness drags me in the dumps A simple tune I hum. Not every day I smile. Not every day I frown. With effort, I can tak…

In the world of animals, pain serves an equivocal role. Parental nips and swipes are common tools in upbringing. And socially, pain is sometimes used to maintain hierarchies of dominance. But this animal use of pain seems somewhat restrained, at least in contrast with the human situation.
