Ă propos de ce livre
The inspiration for the iconic musical Cats, T. S. Eliot's classic and delightful collection of poetry about cats. These lovable cat poems were written by T. S. Eliot for his godchildren and continue to delight children and adults alike. This collection is a curious and artful homage to felines young and old, merry and fierce, small and unmistakably round. This is the ultimate gift for cat and poetry lovers.

EuropÀische PoesieSkimbleshanks: The Railway Cat
Thereâs a whisper down the line at 11.39
When the Night Mailâs ready to depart,
Saying âSkimble where is Skimble has he gone to hunt the thimble?
We must find him or the train canât start.â
All the guards and all the porters and the stationmasterâs daughters
They are searching high and low,
Saying âSkimble where is Skimble for unless heâs very nimble
Then the Night Mail just canât go.â
At 11.42 then the signalâs nearly due
And the passengers are frantic to a manâ
Then Skimble will appear and heâll saunter to the rear:
Heâs been busy in the luggage van!
He gives one flash of his glass-green eyes
And the signal goes âAll Clear!â
And weâre off at last for the northern part
Of the Northern Hemisphere!
Â
You may say that by and large it is Skimble whoâs in charge
Of the Sleeping Car Express.
From the driver and the guards to the bagmen playing cards
He will supervise them all, more or less.
Down the corridor he paces and examines all the faces
Of the travellers in the First and in the Third;
He establishes control by a regular patrol
And heâd know at once if anything occurred.
He will watch you without winking and he sees what you are thinking
And itâs certain that he doesnât approve
Of hilarity and riot, so the folk are very quiet
When Skimble is about and on the move.
You can play no pranks with Skimbleshanks!
Heâs a Cat that cannot be ignored;
So nothing goes wrong on the Northern Mail
When Skimbleshanks is aboard.
Â
Oh itâs very pleasant when you have found your little den
With your name written up on the door.
And the berth is very neat with a newly folded sheet
And thereâs not a speck of dust on the floor.
There is every sort of lightâyou can make it dark or bright;
Thereâs a button that you turn to make a breeze.
Thereâs a funny little basin youâre supposed to wash your face in
And a crank to shut the window if you sneeze.
Then the guard looks in politely and will ask you very brightly
âDo you like your morning tea weak or strong?â
But Skimbleâs just behind him and was ready to remind him,
For Skimble wonât let anything go wrong.
And when you creep into your cosy berth
And pull up the counterpane,
You are bound to admit that itâs very nice
To know that you wonât be bothered by miceâ
You can leave all that to the Railway Cat,
The Cat of the Railway Train!
In the middle of the night he is always fresh and bright;
Every now and then he has a cup of tea
With perhaps a drop of Scotch while heâs keeping on the watch,
Only stopping here and there to catch a flea.
You were fast asleep at Crewe and so you never knew
That he was walking up and down the station;
You were sleeping all the while he was busy at Carlisle,
Where he greets the stationmaster with elation.
But you saw him at Dumfries, where he summons the police
If thereâs anything they ought to know about:
When you get to Gallowgate there you do not have to waitâ
For Skimbleshanks will help you to get out!
He gives you a wave of his long brown tail
Which says: âIâll see you again!
Youâll meet without fail on the Midnight Mail
The Cat of the Railway Train.â
The Ad-dressing of Cats
Youâve read of several kinds of Cat,
And my opinion now is that
You should nee...
