"I know every bird in the mountains and the insects in the fields are mine. If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it. Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?"
I know every bird in the mountains

and the insects in the fields are mine

for the world is mine

and all that is in it
