hear and attend and listen; for this befell and behappened and became and was, o my best beloved, when the tame animals were wild. the dog was wild, and the horse was wild, and the cow was wild, and the sheep was wild, and the pig was wild as wild as wild could be and they walked in the wet wild woods by their wild lones. but the wildest of all the wild animals was the cat. he walked by himself, and all places were alike to him.
