Answer 1

1. Three things that humans do and animals don't are-

i) They do not weep for their sins

ii) They do not make the poet sick by discussing their duty to God

iii) No one kneels to another nor to his own kind.

2. Yes, humans kneel to one another because they want to respect the great lives their elder

ones or their own kind who lived thousands of years ago.

3. Humans are animals. But in nature Humans do not seem like animals or resemble any quality an animal has. Animal do weep and sweat, they do not discuss their duty to God nor do they kneel to one another and not one is dissatisfied or materialistic. Thes are the tokens that poet says he may have dropped long ago and that animals have kept it for him because whenever he is around animals, the poet is in solitude and is free of worldly pleasures and wants.
