[In the Company of the Holy Mother, 178]
“One small cat changes coming home to an empty house to coming home.”
“Well fare she, well! As perfect beauty fares;
And those high places, that are beauty's home.”
"Oxford"
Context: p>Ill times may be; she hath no thought of time:
She reigns beside the waters yet in pride.
Rude voices cry: but in her ears the chime
Of full, sad bells brings back her old springtide. Like to a queen in pride of place, she wears
The splendour of a crown in Radcliffe's dome.
Well fare she, well! As perfect beauty fares;
And those high places, that are beauty's home.</p
“Now I have a cat. Well, that's not quite accurate. A cat and I have each other.”
“Cats randomly refuse to follow orders to prove they can.”
