Half-starved spiders prey'd on half-starved flies.

Summary

This quote depicts a cruel and desperate cycle in nature, where both spiders and flies are struggling to survive. The scarcity of food has caused the spiders to become emaciated, and as a result, they prey upon equally undernourished flies. The quote highlights the harsh reality of a world where predatory survival is manifested even in the tiniest of beings. It underscores the relentless nature of nature itself, where everyone is driven by their innate instincts to secure their own existence, regardless of the hardships faced by others.
