...horse against a copper moon. The bride, seeing these two dying animals, and hearing the cries of anticipant ravens in the empty heavens, runs for home and father. Theme of "The Cat, a Goldfinch and the Stars" is that every individualized consciousness is circumvallated by whatever body it may inhabit.

With farm machinery at a standstill there will be work for many, many farmhands-so reasoned the picturesque governors. Their decree, of course, is Russia...
