At last Father Pavlos appears with the scraps that he has collected
Christmas comes for the cats also
Lovely multicoloured stars! Ι remember the lit lamps..amazing!
This grey fat cat is mine. Knows every Greek word..
For I will consider my Cat Jeoffrey
For he is the servant of the Living God duly and daily serving him.
For at the first glance of the glory of God in the East he worships in his way. . . .
For he knows that God is his Saviour.
For there is nothing sweeter than his peace when at rest.
For there is nothing brisker than his life when in motion.
For he is the Lord’s poor and so indeed is he called by benevolence perpetually . . .
For the divine spirit comes about his body to sustain it in compleat cat.
–Christopher Smart, “on his cat Jeoffrey” from Jubilate Agno (1762)
