class="i0">I wrought strange shapes from Máh to Máhi, yet
I know not what I wrote, nor why they chased.

The kitten jumps out of the window, leaving behind a tipped over bottle and inky pawprints
Now I beyond the Pale am safely past.
O, but the long, long time their Rage shall last,
Which, tho’ they call to supper, I shall heed
As a Stone Cat should heed a Pebble cast.
The kitten looks behind at the inky pawprints on the wall
And that perverted Soul beneath the Sky
They call the Dog—Heed not his angry Cry;
Not all his Threats can make me budge one bit,
Nor all his Empty Bluster terrify.
A kitten sits on a wall looking down at a dog
They are no other than a moving Show
Of whirling Shadow Shapes that come and go
Me-ward thro’ Moon illumined Darkness hurled,
In midnight, by the Lodgers in the Row.
A kitten watches bottles, boots and other objects fall from above
Myself when young did eagerly frequent
The Backyard Fence and heard great Argument
About it, and About, yet evermore
Came out with Fewer Fur than in I went.
A kitten looks up, scared, at a larger cat sitting in front of it
Ah, me! if you and I could but conspire
To grasp this Sorry Scheme of things entire,
Would we not shatter it to bits, and then
Enfold it nearer to our Heart’s Desire?
The kitten and larger cat look at a tortoise
Tho’ Two and Two make Four by rule of line,
Or they make Twenty-two by Logic fine,
Of all the Figures one may fathom, I
Shall ne’er be floored by anything but Nine.
A kitten stares at a row of books, volumes 1 to 9, each with the word Life on the spine
