from Ecclesiastes 12
The grasshopper drags itself along and desire fails; . . . the silver cord is snapped . . . the golden bowl is broken, and the dust returns to the earth as it was . . . . Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity.

The giraffe doesn’t seek to stand on two
legs. It doesn’t migrate to Norway. It doesn’t
invent the wheel that leads to the cart that leads to the Model A. It doesn’t
build apartment blocks or drill or mine. It isn’t looking always over its
shoulder as it devises new ways to kill other giraffes. It doesn't have shoulders.
