Guaita - LA PHILOSOPHIE DES CHATS

23:02 May 30 2014
Times Read: 697


"En vos longs corps soyeux que votre langue lustre,

O chats, un dieu fantasque alluma comme un lustre

D'esprit càpricant et malin,

Et, quand vous ronronnez, discrets, prés de la flamme,

Nul ne sait si vos cœurs ne recèlent point l'âme

D'un Voltaire ou d'un Poquelin"



july 1882

I wish I could read French, as you always find interesting things to put in your journal. All I know is that this is something about the philosophy of cats...lol

Basically it sais something like:

"In your long silken bodies that your tongue luster,

oh cats, a fantastical god lits, like a chandelier

of capricious and devilish spirit.

And when you purr, discretly, close to the flame,

noone sais if your hearts doesn`t harbour a bit of the soul

of a Voltaire or a Moliere."



(sorry, it`s my translation, and not very good, I couldn`t find a translation of Guaita`s poems in English)



I have a character in a Moliere theater play and while I was repeating my text near my tomcat, Murr, these verses fascinated me.

2000 years since we adore them, isn`t it?
