They are whimsical in how they run and when they do what you want, just as my cats are whimsical in what they want to eat today and where they want to sleep.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748738824308720904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-70456566737642008032010-04-01T08:29:13.378-07:002010-04-01T08:29:13.378-07:00Anon,

He is the most poetic of writers, and of course in his own language his evocative power is beyond my humble reach. One of the masters, I could not touch the hem of his garment.<br /><br />And are not those cats beautiful as well?<br /><br />They are from Japan I believe -- Hokkaido. A long way from Argentina. But then Cortázar lived and wrote in Paris.<br /><br />And you are there... and I am here.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-20146716913818522102010-03-30T11:44:51.111-07:002010-03-30T11:44:51.111-07:00How true!
