"Saya berharap Anda bisa melihat dua kucing itu berdampingan di kursi perawat bergaya Victoria, kaki mereka, telinga mereka, ekor mereka saling disesuaikan, mata biru mereka berkedip terbuka pada satu pikiran ketika saya akan ingat ini adalah waktu makan malam mereka. Mereka mungkin telah dikomposisi oleh Bach untuk dua seruling."

--- Sylvia Townsend Warner

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I wish you could see the two cats drowsing side by side in a Victorian nursing chair, their paws, their ears, their tails complementarily adjusted, their blue eyes blinking open on a single thought of when I shall remember it's their supper time. They might have been composed by Bach for two flutes.
