tranquilly speculating upon the mysteries in man

Dr. James Elmore and Horse, @1915

There are unknown worlds of knowledge in brutes; and whenever you mark a horse, or a dog, with a peculiarly mild, calm, deep-seated eye, be sure he is an Aristotle or a Kant, tranquilly speculating upon the mysteries in man.                                              —Herman Melville
