The Speech of Monkeys
·
R. L. Garner

[Sidenote:
FACULTY
OF
THOUGHT]
I
confess
that
such
an
inference
is
not
evidence,
however
logical;
but
I
have
many
facts
to
offer
in
proof
that
speech
is
not
possessed
by
man
alone.
It
is
quite
difficult
to
draw
the
line
at
any
given
point
between
the
process
of
thought
and
those
phenomena
we
call
emotions.
They
merge
into
and
blend
with
each
other
like
the
colours
in
light,
and
in
like
manner
the
faculty
of
speech,
receding
through
the
various
modes
of
expression,
is
for
ever
lost
in
the
haze
and
distance
of
desire.
The
faculty
of
reason
blends
into
thought
like
the
water
of
a
bay
blends
into
the
open
sea;
there
is
nowhere
a
positive
line
dividing
them.
When
we
are
in
the
midst
of
one
we
point
to
the
other,
and
say,
"There
it
is;"
but
we
cannot
say
at
what
exact
point
we
pass
out
of
one
into
the
other.
