Puzzle #487
Puzzle #487
New players! Read the rules before you join, please, and be prepared to host the next if you win!
These are the rules:
1. You may only guess one letter at a time.
2. After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again. (see also rule #9)
3. The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.
4. One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.
5. Only six misses are allowed in the game.
6. If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk Private message. (This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts). DO NOT post it on the forum. If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.
7. You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.
8. The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.
9. Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.
And here is what you win ... you get to create the next puzzle.
(Should you win the game and do not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points)

You really posted a zinger this time, Karen! I'm gonna go think on this a while!

Pinot's Mom got it! It was:
We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals.
Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in
civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees
thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize
them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so
far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be
measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move
finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or
never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren,
they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the
net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the
earth.
