Summary

This quote implies that before making the decision to retire, one should spend a week at home and observe the content aired on daytime television. The rationale behind this suggestion might be to expose individuals to the kind of mundane or uninteresting programming that could potentially be a part of their daily lives once they retire. By immersing themselves in this experience, individuals can assess if they are ready for a lifestyle that may lack the stimulation and intellectual engagement associated with work, helping them make a more informed decision about their retirement plans.

Researchers, with science as their authority, will be able to cut Animals up, alive, into small pieces, drop them from a great height to see if they are shattered by the fall, or deprive them of sleep for sixteen days and nights continuously for the purposes of an iniquitous monograph... Animal trust, undeserved faith, when at last will you turn away from us? Shall we never tire of deceiving, betraying, tormenting animals before they cease to trust us?

Behold the Child among his new-born blissesA six years' Darling of a pigmy size!See, where 'mid work of his own hand he lies,Fretted by sallies of his mother's kisses,With light upon him from his father's eyes!See, at his feet, some little plan or chart,Some fragment from his dream of human life,Shaped by himself with newly-learned art.
