"On a Desolation of
the Animals at Night."

00:00:10.730 --> 00:00:13.310 align:middle line:84%
"I used to think
that the animals were

00:00:13.310 --> 00:00:18.500 align:middle line:84%
exempt from human suffering
because they had no brains.

00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:22.100 align:middle line:84%
But now, I'm not
so sure because I

00:00:22.100 --> 00:00:26.180 align:middle line:84%
hear two cats moaning
on the windowsill,

00:00:26.180 --> 00:00:31.040 align:middle line:84%
sleeping in a desolation
not to be denied.

00:00:31.040 --> 00:00:35.510 align:middle line:84%
Why is it that the dirt
made flesh must suffer

00:00:35.510 --> 00:00:40.310 align:middle line:84%
for its intuitions for a
while before it goes back

00:00:40.310 --> 00:00:41.225 align:middle line:90%
to its nature?

00:00:41.225 --> 00:00:43.790 align:middle line:90%


00:00:43.790 --> 00:00:46.130 align:middle line:90%
What, dancy cats?

00:00:46.130 --> 00:00:48.320 align:middle line:90%
Why, sleepers?

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:53.510 align:middle line:84%
Why are the insides of
your bone heads cleverer

00:00:53.510 --> 00:00:59.060 align:middle line:84%
than opals, onyx, and
Egyptian goddesses

00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:03.230 align:middle line:84%
in bearing witnesses
to what's what:

00:01:03.230 --> 00:01:08.000 align:middle line:84%
those roaring horrors of
the universe, the stars,

00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:13.310 align:middle line:84%
if we could only hear them,
burning outside the window

00:01:13.310 --> 00:01:18.110 align:middle line:84%
while you cats sleep,
moaning on the windowsill

00:01:18.110 --> 00:01:23.800 align:middle line:84%
as I watch out from
something wondering inside?"
