In the Image of the Lion
Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)Wild beasts he created later,
Lions with their paws so furious;
In the image of the lion
Made he kittens small and curious.- from Songs of Creation translated by E.A. Bowring
Oubliette - (noun, french) a little place of forgetting. A small, windowless room where someone is locked away, forgotten, left to go mad.
This is my personal place to rant and rave like the lunatic I am, my oubliette. It's dark, quiet, and I come here to forget about things. Or maybe to remember them. After all, where does insanity end, and insight begin?

cat poetry blogging
Since I don't have much to do today, except get well, I managed to dig up another cat poem. Since I haven't heard any complaints, this occasional off and on series will continue, whenever I find a piece that is particularly noteworthy.
