“Hear and attend and listen; for this befell and behappened and became and was: O my Best Beloved, when the tame animals were wild.”

“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.”

“I quite deliberately dressed wild animals in tame costumes of my imagination.”

“We talk of wild animals but man is the only wild animal. It is man that has broken out. All other animals are tame animals; following the rugged respectability of the tribe or type.”

“And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming wild things.”

“Listen to me my beloved children. It is the best days of your life to love someone. You should enjoy these days to the fullest. When that time comes. When that time comes, you should not hesitate”
