Смысл жизни с кухни выглядит иначе. (с)
Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?

Can you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne?

Can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark?

Are you cock of the walk when you're walking alone?



When you fall on your head, do you land on your feet?

Are you tense when you sense there's a storm in the air?

Can you find your way blind when you're lost in the street?

Do you know how to go to the heaviside layer?



Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?

Familiar with candle, with book, and with bell?

Were you Whittington's friend? The Pied Piper's assistant?

Have you been an alumnus of heaven or hell?



Are you mean like a minx? Are you lean like a lynx?

Are you keen to be seen when you're smelling a rat?

Were you there when the pharaohs commissioned the Sphinx?

If you were and you are, you're a Jellicle cat!

Эндрю Ллойда Уэббера по поэме Томаса Стерна Элиота



Вам не кажется, что это написано как раз про людей?..

Вам не кажется, что среди персонажей Элиота мы можем отыскать себя самих?

И если да, то почему так выходит, что ассоциируешься не с тем персонажем, с которым хотелось бы?
