She is a cat," he thought. "That's all she is—a cat!"

It was not the site of the earth which surprised him – it was the smell. .... This earth and air smelled alive. There was the odor of plants, of water, of things which he could not even guess. The air was coded with a million years of memory. In this air people had swum to manhood, before they conquered the stars. ....

No wonder the descriptions of the earth had always seemed fierce and exaggerated!
