“This is the last leaf
in the year’s book.

as the earth’s breast goes hard and mean
and hay is packed for the manger.”

“A few years before I lived in the woods there was what was called a “winged cat” in one of the farmhouses.... This would have been the right kind of cat for me to keep, if I had kept any; for why should not a poet’s cat be winged as well as his horse?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
