I found it here: http://www.online-literature.com/orwell/887/
Thank you for pointing that out. I had recently read 1984 and Animal Farm, and those did not come close to moving me like this essay. There is something in actual, especially personal, experience that cannot be matched. It's not only a perception of things, but perception and actuality mixed together. I really almost wanted to cry at the end there. Not for the elephant, but because I could understand his feeling.
