"C-kirjain nonsense-aakkosista". C- tässä tarkoittaa Cat-sanan alkua. Todella koskettava on tuo katkennut häntä, ei ihme että hiukan pelottaa. Kuvaan liittyy runo:
"C oli ihana kissa, silmät suuret ja vaaleat; selässä sillä oli raitoja, ja hännässäkin useita."
*******************
This striped, chubby cat has wide, round eyes. The image is a drawing by the English author, illustrator, and artist Edward Lear (1812-1888), from his "Nonsense Alphabet"—specifically the letter 'C'. Here, 'C' stands for the beginning of the word "Cat." Its broken tail is truly endearing; no wonder it’s a little frightened. The poem that accompanied the illustration goes:
"C was a lovely Pussy Cat, its eyes were large and pale;
And on its back it had some stripes ,and several on his tail."
"C was a lovely Pussy Cat, its eyes were large and pale;
And on its back it had some stripes ,and several on his tail."
