This article is another among the several tongue and cheek essays that the French composer Eric Satie (1866 – 1925) contributed for the amusement of the fun-loving readers of VANITY FAIR MAGAZINE. Published just three years prior to his death, the article is beautifully illustrated and stands as one solid page of pure silliness in which Satie considered the place of art in the animal kingdom, and concludes that of all the arts, architecture and music are the only two creative endeavors that the creatures of the field ever seem able to embrace:

"I know of no literary work written by an animal - and that is very sad."
