The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
36
Then
said
the
Empress,
If
all
Animal
Creatures
have
not
blood,
it
is
certain,
they
all
have
neither
Muscles,
tendons,
nerves,
&c.
But,
said
she,
Have
you
ever
observed
Animal
Creatures
that
are
neither
flesh,
nor
Fish,
but
of
an
intermediate
degree
between
both?
Truly,
answered
both
the
Fish-
and
Worm-men,
We
have
observed
several
Animal
Creatures
that
live
both
in
Water,
and
on
the
Earth,
indifferently,
and
if
any,
certainly
those
may
be
said
to
be
of
such
a
mixt
nature,
that
is,
partly
Flesh,
and
partly
Fish:
But
how
is
it
possible,
replied
the
Empress,
that
they
should
live
both
in
Water,
and
on
the
Earth,
since
those
Animals
that
live
by
the
respiration
of
Air,
cannot
live
within
Water;
and
those
that
live
in
Water,
cannot
live
by
the
respiration
of
Air,
as
Experience
doth
sufficiently
witness.
They
answered
her
Majesty,
That
as
there
were
different
sorts
of
Creatures,
so
they
had
also
different
ways
of
Respirations;
for
Respiration,
said
they,
is
nothing
else
but
a
composition
and
division
of
parts,
and
the
motions
of
nature
being
infinitely
various,
it
is
impossible
that
all
Creatures
should
have
the
like
motions;
wherefore
it
was
not
necessary,
that
all
Animal
Creatures
should
be
bound
to
live
either
by
the
Air,
or
by
Water
onely,
but
according
as
Nature
had
ordered
it
convenient
to
their
Species.
