McBain takes the ecological doorway into symbolic thought, sees the menagerie in the self and finds the alluring detail with instructive generality. ---Donald Kuspit

This is no flattery. These are the counsellors that feelingly persuade me what I am. Sweet are the uses of adversity, which like the toad, ugly and venomous Wears yet a precious jewel in his head and this, our life, exempt from public haunt finds tongues in trees and books in the running brooks. Sermons in stones and good in everything. ------ Shakespeare's Senior in As You Like It

’This is no flattery. These are counsellors
That feelingly persuade me what I am.’
Sweet are the uses of adversity
Which, like
The Spirit wanders, Comes now here, now there and occupies whatever frame it pleases. From beasts it passes into human bodies and from human bodies into beasts, but never perishes.
-----Joseph Campbell
