Donne Well-Done





Busy old fool, unruly Sun,
why dost thou thus,
through windows, and through curtains, call on us?
-John Donne

And then....

It comes as an accomplice, stealthily,
the lovely hour that is the felon's friend;
the sky, like curtains around a bed, draws close,
and man prepares to become a beast of prey.

Charles Baudelaire

You look darn good in pondering mode Spitty!

Summer at sparklecat.com said...

In my eyes, indisposed,
In disguise as no one knows
Hides the face,
Lies the snake,
And the sun in my disgrace.

What can I say? The best my human and I can do is Chris Cornell.

Oh my gosh, Spitty! Those pictures are so squee-worthy! You need kisses, lots of kisses on that adorable head of yours!

Oh how we love the sun on your furs!

oh, Dear Spitty...
Shall I compare thee to a sunny day?
Thou art more furry and more fluffinate;
Rough cats do shake teh darling mice of May,
and summer's fleas hath not too short a date:
Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fur from fur sometimes declines,
By sheds, or kitteh's matting furs untrimmed;
But thy eternal fluffiness shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fur brush thou own'st,
Nor shall humans ruin sunpuddles with his shade,
When in eternal brushie-times thou growl'st,
So long as cats can purr, or eyes can see,
So long pets this, and this gives fluff to thee.

Ivan from WMD said...

Oh yeah? Just wait until you go through menopaws and gain an ounce or 80, pal. You'll be needing a lazy toy too!

Mr Puddy said...

Just imagine, all kitties in your area come out and soak the sun at the window in da same time
That's going to be Amazing ; )

ANGEL ABBYGRACE said...

Oh Spitty you are ever so gorgeous and what a lovely quote for today.

Cathy Keisha said...

She got it and accepted. You should never have to pay for anything on FB. Now that they've connected, we're in trouble. MOL!

Jacqueline said...

Great photos, handsome!...Happy weekend, precious friend...xoxo...Calle, Halle, Sukki

CATachresis said...

Spitty, mum says to tell you that:

The sun shines equally on the righteous and the unrighteous!! Whatever that means??? You look just right to me!! ;)

Mark's Mews (Marley, Lori, Taz, and Binq) said...

To call you to play in light,
And know the difrence b'tween the night.
And ME who haply gives you sight
And calls the mousies out to play.

A Tonk's Tail said...

It hasn't called nearly loudly not often enough, to our minds. *grump*

KarenMcG said...

Spitty, you're looking mighty regal in the sun, behind the curtains.
