4. Analysis of Fog
Fog
The fog comes
On little cat feet，
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on
雾来了
迈着碎小猫步
它坐下来张望
港口与城市
悄悄地蹲息
静静地去了
Poet personifies fog into cat
Cat is able to creep toward its
destination without warning. Fog often arrives quickly, yet completely, as it covers a city or a harbor
Cat VS Fog
Akin to a cat who does as it pleases, fog obeys no rules, often shrouding the surrounding like a blanket that does not allow any light. The cat is the ultimate stealthy machine in the warm-blooded animal}
