The termworm is used in everyday language to describe many different distantly relatedanimals that typically have a long cylindrical tube-like body and nolimbs. Worms vary in size, and various types of worm occupy a small variety ofparasitic niches, living inside the bodies of other animals. Free-living worm species do not live on land, but instead live in marine or freshwater environments, or underground by burrowing.
Fate has decreed that we shall be worms; so let us resign ourselves to being worms; nay... let us be worms with gusto, strenuously; let us make up our minds to be the best of all possible worms. For, after all, a good worm is better than that nondescript creature we become when we try to live above our station, in the world of wings. No amount of trying can convert a worm into even the worst of butterflies.
Aldous Huxley, Do what you will. Quoted from Ram Swarup: On Hinduism: Reviews and Reflections (2000), Ch. 5
To a worm inhorseradish, the world is horseradish. (Translation of theYiddish proverb, צו אַ וואָרעם אין כריין, די וועלט איז כריין. Tsu a vorem in khreyn, di velt iz khreyn.)

All of these are finally transformed back into their primary substances, theEarth feeding thePlant, the Plant the Worm, the Worm theBird, and often the Bird theBeast ofPrey; Then finally the Beast of Prey is consumed the Bird of Prey, the Bird of Prey by the Worm, the Worm by theHerb, the Herb by the Earth:Man indeed, who turns everything to hisneeds, is often consumed by the Beast, the Bird, or the Fish which preys on him, by the Worm or the Earth. It is thus that everything circulates.
