Gatos + Senhor dos Aneis = ???

Já que estou numa de gatos e de senhor dos aneis (ver posts anteriores) era impossivel não por aqui este poema de J.R.R Tolkien.


Cat

The fat cat on the mat
may seem to dream
of nice mice that suffice
for him, or cream;
but he free, maybe,
walks in thought
unbowed, proud, where loud
roared and fought
his kin, lean and slim,
or deep in den
in the East feasted on beasts
and tender men.
The giant lion with iron
claw in paw,
and huge ruthless tooth
in gory jaw;
the pard dark-starred,
fleet upon feet,
that oft soft from aloft
leaps upon his meat
where woods loom in gloom
far now they be,
fierce and free,
and tamed is he;
but fat cat on the mat
kept as a pet
he does not forget.

J.R.R Tolkien


E já agora, a acompanhar, uma fotografia de um especimen puro de gato persa contemporânio.
