    Cats—I believe he did but feign to hate.

    “From a purely external point of view there is no will; and to find will in any phenomenon requires a certain empathy; we observe a man’s actions and place ourselves partly but not wholly in his position; or we act, and place ourselves partly in the position of an outsider.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “The night has a thousand eyes,
    And the day but one;
    Yet the light of the bright world dies
    With the dying sun.”
