S. No, Lord. To him there is no difference of consequence. To him they
are all microbes, all infinitely little and equally inconsequential.
L. To me there is no difference of consequence between a man & a
microbe. Man looks down upon the speck at his feet called a microbe
from an altitude of a thousand miles, so to speak, and regards him with
indifference; I look down upon the specks called a man and a microbe
from an altitude of a billion leagues, so to speak, and to me they are
of a size. To me both are inconsequential. Man kills the microbes when
he can?
S. Yes, Lord.
L. Then what? Does he keep him in mind years and years and go on
contriving miseries for him?
S. No, Lord.
