In the poem Animals, the poet wishes to turn and live with animals because animals are calm, self-contained, and do not complain about their condition. They do not weep for their sins, feel dissatisfied, or kneel to worship. The poet finds animals more honest and peaceful compared to restless, hypocritical humans.
This question is from Walt Whitman's poem Animals, not the passages provided. Examiners expect two clear reasons: (1) animals are content and do not suffer moral/spiritual anxiety, and (2) they possess virtues (calmness, honesty) that humans have lost. Mention both points for full 2 marks.
