"I like so much the proud instinct which makes a living creature distinguish itself from its background.  I hate the rabbity khaki protection-colouration.  A black-and-white peasant on his pony, only a dot in the distance beyond the foliage, still flashes and dominates the landscape.  Ha-ha! proud mankind!  There you ride!" (DHL, SS 85-6).
