all of us all but us only
(but not us) the mammals or only
us: animal in us or only
the male of us: brute
no animals in the Bible
only beasts as of the field
not us: it says breathed
into in our image of the dust
anima breath to anima
soul but all animals
breathe the same one
long song the same air
