Professions (for Thomas de Quincey)

Stephanie Fysh

"Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing creatures; none show more passionate tenderness to their young when deprived of them; and, in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep love for these quiet creatures." –Thomas De Quincey, Confessions of an English Opium Eater (1822)
