Description

"Pangur Bán", is a poem by an unknown 9th century Irish monk about his cat, "White Pangur". Its been widely translated into English in several stylised versions. Its a lfairly lengthy poem but here are a couple of extracts from a translation by the poet laureate Seamus Heaney; his version is probably the closest in feel to the Old Irish original. "Pangur Bán and I at work, Adepts, equals, cat and clerk: His whole instinct is to hunt, Mine to free the meaning pent. ... Next thing an unwary mouse Bares his flank: Pangur pounces. Next thing lines that held and held Meaning back begin to yield..." DAZ's millenium cat. The setting is mostly a combination DMs Anardhaus and Secret Chamber sets.
