But I know with all my heart and brain
That we are not earthmen - or women.
Earth-people, said David, leaning against Anne.
Earthen, said Anne, and they shouted - Yes!
Darling, it's a lovely theory, she said.
A pleasant soothing fantasy.

To its original state, its own way.

Not daring to scoff at the man
