Giraffedom

But was there, in cold fact, any simple justification, any more than there TV as for the fabulous jewel in the peacock's feather, for that singular creation, that extravagance of angles, that triangular elongation coated with crazy paving, the modern and somewhat modest descendant of a long experiment in giraffedom?

Boy, youth and man, you'll ever find the world is villianously inclined so strive, as all giraffedom should, to spurn the bad and grasp the good.

Since childhood, I had given up giraffedom to become a turtle, or maybe a miniature antelope.
