+# From the Point of View of a Cat
+
+This is my Man. I am not afraid of him.
+He is very strong, for he eats a great deal;
+he is an Eater of All Things.
+What are you eating? Give me some!
+
+He is not beautiful, for he has no fur.
+Not having enough saliva, he has to wash himself with water.
+He meows in a harsh voice and a great deal more than necessary.
+Sometimes in his sleep he purrs.
+
+Let me out!
+
+I don't know how he has made himself Master;
+perhaps he has eaten something sublime.
+
+He keeps my rooms clean for me.
+
+In his paws he carries a sharp black claw
+and he scratches with it on white sheets of paper.
+That is the only game he plays.
+He sleeps at night instead of by day,
+he cannot see in the dark,
+he has no pleasures.
+He never thinks of blood, never dreams of hunting or fighting;
+he never sings songs of love.
+
+Often at night when _I_ can hear mysterious and magic voices,
+when _I_ can see that the darkness is all alive,
+_he_ sits at the table with his head bent and goes on and on,
+scratching with his black claw on the white papers.
+Don't imagine that I am at all interested in you.
+I am only listening to the soft whispering of your claw.
+Sometimes the whispering is silent,
+the poor dull head does not know how to go on playing,
+and then I am sorry for him and I meow softly in sweet and sharp discord.
+Then my Man picks me up and buries his hot face in my fur.
+At those times he divines for an instant a glimpse of a higher life,
+and he sighs with happiness and purrs something which can almost be understood.
+
+But don't think that I am at all interested in you.
+You have warmed me, and now I will go out again and listen to the dark voices.
