"Folktales, fables and myths show humans talking and working with animals, with trees, with rivers and stones, as if recalling or envisioning a time of easy commerce among all beings ... The trickster - Coyote or Raven or Hare - changes form as rapidly as clouds, reminding us how fluid nature is, and how arbitrary are the divisions between human and beast, between self and other. It is as if through language, the very power that estranges us from other animals, we are slowly working our way back into communion with the rest of nature."

- Scott Russell Sanders, "The Power of Stories" (Georgia Review, 1997).
