"Her Sadness" is a
poem in which she

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:09.660 align:middle line:84%
talks about knowing too
much about time for a pig.

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:12.030 align:middle line:84%
She knows too much,
she's been so humanized

00:00:12.030 --> 00:00:14.802 align:middle line:90%
the way that pets are.

00:00:14.802 --> 00:00:21.970 align:middle line:84%
And that is "Her Sister,"
which I'll read you.

00:00:21.970 --> 00:00:25.930 align:middle line:84%
And this is written in
the stately triadic line.

00:00:25.930 --> 00:00:28.470 align:middle line:90%


00:00:28.470 --> 00:00:34.950 align:middle line:84%
"Kaya, my gentle Jersey
cowfriend, you are no pig,

00:00:34.950 --> 00:00:40.830 align:middle line:84%
you are slow to think, your
moods are like rounded clouds

00:00:40.830 --> 00:00:47.160 align:middle line:84%
drifting over the pasture,
casting pleasant shadows.

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:54.390 align:middle line:84%
You lift your head slowly up
from the grass to greet me.

00:00:54.390 --> 00:00:59.220 align:middle line:84%
Occupied with your
cud, you are all cow,

00:00:59.220 --> 00:01:03.330 align:middle line:84%
yet we are friends
or even sisters.

00:01:03.330 --> 00:01:09.210 align:middle line:84%
We worship the same goddess,
we look to the same humans

00:01:09.210 --> 00:01:12.960 align:middle line:90%
with love, for love.

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:18.120 align:middle line:84%
When I tread the mud in pig
patterns after a shower,

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.710 align:middle line:84%
my footprints shine
and reflect the sky.

00:01:22.710 --> 00:01:28.590 align:middle line:84%
In this, they resemble
your huge kindly eyes.

00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:33.270 align:middle line:84%
My own are small
as befits a pig,

00:01:33.270 --> 00:01:39.840 align:middle line:84%
but I behold your steep
gray gold side, a bulwark

00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.500 align:middle line:90%
beside me."
