Answers
This line is from Walt Whitman’s famous poem ‘I Think I Could Turn And Live With Animals’ The poet is turning away from living with human beings, who according to the poet who sweat and whine, weep for their sins, most of the time are dissatisfied, and are obsessed with mania of owning things.
On the contrary, animals are wonderful as they are so calm, satisfied, and not greedy at all. The poet feels animals are better than human beings. So, he wants to live with them.
