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. diff --git a/2025-12-14.md b/2025-12-14.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e3992af --- /dev/null +++ b/2025-12-14.md @@ -0,0 +1,18 @@ +--- +id: +aliases: [] +title: 2025-12-14 +tags: + - authorship/original + - destiny/permanent + - status/draft + - type/daily +--- +# 2025-12-14 + +## 2025-12-14 09:52 + +``` +# hard wrap text +$newText = $text -replace '^(.{60,80})\s', "`$1`n" +```
