Editor's Note:
Here is a close up of the pig above:

Considering the pig, a single-minded bestiary.
The actual lines of a pig (I mean a really fat pig) are among the loveliest and most luxuriant in nature; the pig has the same great curves, swift and yet heavy, which we see in rushing water or in a rolling cloud.
G.K. Chesterton, The Uses of Diversity, (1920).
