- I England sjaa vi dette best, der den store Arbeidsflokken snart sagt aldri seer Kjøt paa Bordet sit, medan Stormannen eller Aristokraten eter seg mest ihel paa Kjøt. Og tidt stryker og Livet med. Det er Ørn og Falk og Gaupe o.s.v. i Dyresamfundet.
- In England we see this most clearly, where the large heap of workers almost never see meat on their table, whereas the big man or aristocrat almost eats himself too death on meat. And often it does claim their life. That is like the eagle and falcon and lynx, and so on, in animal society.
