PANAMA red / / /
-The Futility of Persueing Your Own Thoughts-
Visions in front of us are that; in front of us
We persue them loyally to the summit of the burning violins
While hasty they disfigure, vary, and bend,
We arrest visions and hold them at rest, for observation.
While the remaing phantasm floats away with smug efficiency.
By the time enclosed, after the exertion,
The concern is superior again in the vision in front.
In variety that is alive we reside;
Of the competing schemas of relative intensity.
That decides influence in general.

CATS .......companion of your hours of solitude, melancholy and grief. He remains whole evenings in your knees, purring satisfied, happy to be with you, and he does without the company of animals from his own species. The cats are pleased in silence, the order and the calm, and there is no place that agrees to them better than a writing-desk of a man of letters. It is very difficult to gain the affection of a cat; he will be your friend if it feels that you are worthy of its friendship, but not your slave.
