" In this tale, a little shipwrecked girl is carried to the depths of the ocean, and sees the green sea swinging to and fro because it is so full of joy, and the fishes waving their glistening fins in silent satisfaction, and the oysters opening and shutting their shells in lazy raptures of delight. Afterwards she vi...sits the birds and beasts and insects, and finds amongst them intelligence, industry, patience, ingenuity, a whole host of admirable qualities, but nowhere else the sweet contentment of that dumb watery life. So universal is this fallible sentiment that even Leopardi, while assigning to all created things their full share of pain, reluctantly ad mits that the passive serenity of the less viva cious creatures of the sea starfish and their numerous brothers and sisters is the nearest possible approach to an utterly impossible happiness.
