"I have never seen or heard of such a fish. But I must kill him. I am glad we do not have to try to kill the stars."
Imagine if each day a man must try to kill the moon, he thought. The moon runs away. But imagine if a man each day should have to try to kill the sun? We were born lucky, he thought.
Then he was sorry for the great fish that had nothing to eat and his determination to kill him never relaxed in his sorrow for him. . . .
I do not understand these things, he thought. But it is good that we do not have to to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers.

The Old Man & the Sea? Too long since I read Ernest. And a beautiful writer, but not a man I could like. I'm no veggie (to weak and hedonistic) but killing for fun is wrong. So when the hunter becomes the hunted ... heh heh heh.
I don't understand these things, but ... its enough to live on the sea and glory in the life of our true brothers.
Well said.
