Oliver Herford (Оливер Херфорд)


Some Geese


EVERY child who has the use
Of his senses knows a goose.
See them underneath the tree
Gather round the goose-girl's knee,
While she reads them by the hour
From the works of Schopenhauer.

How patiently the geese attend!
But do they really comprehend
What Schopenhauer's driving at?
Oh, not at all; but what of that?
Neither do I; neither does she;
And, for that matter, nor does he.

  1. The Whole Duty of Kittens
  2. In Darkest Africa
  3. The Shadow Kitten
  4. A Kitten’s Fancy
  5. Kitten’s Night Thought
