It’s not the money itself that matters, it’s the symbolic value. It’s recognition for those of us behind the scenes; it’s a light shone on those unseen beings who make the world a better place. We cannot live in the country of the Revolution yet ignore the labour of the little people.
In this world that is adrift, we are the hard sand on which she lays the foundations of her house of words.
If the world is adrift, if humanity is old and disenchanted, if the apocalypse is around the corner, if beauty and poetry are the only possible forms of resistance (as our writer has proclaimed in her novels), then we are not simply her literary advisors and protective totems. We are the bulwark. We are the shield. We intrinsically elegant felines are innocence and harmony preserved, a source of enduring enchantment in spite of disaster and (if I may) artlessness in the face of darkness. So, in addition to royalties, I demand that we be allowed to pose with her as equals, for the sake of Chartreux workers of the future, and as a tribute to all those who grace the world with the simple poetry of their friendly whiskers.
Well, as far as visual harmony and beauty go, we provide her with copious amounts of both in her daily life. What’s more, we bring movement. We are flawless lines travelling through space, we are moving calligraphy, always changing, always sublime. The way we look, our flexible beauty, our pleasing curves make us living art, a natural source of inspiration: a vector of beauty making its way through this imperfect world, leaving in its wake the scent of perfection (and a whiff of Japan).
And one evening she said to me, ‘Kirinette, beauty and harmony are our only roots in a world that is adrift.’
Yes, we are – in all modesty – decorative, protective deities watching over her rigid little aesthetic world, and we make it possible for her to produce writing where there is always some reference to sublime calligraphy.
