From the Catalects of Pussius Catus I
We’ve been fans of English crime novelist, playwright, translator, and critic Dorothy L. Sayers since we finished reading her Wikipedia page a few minutes ago. And who knew she made linocuts?! We certainly didn’t. On the inside of this card (which is item A67.8 in Colleen B. Gilbert’s A Bibliography of the Works of Dorothy L. Sayers [1978]), you’ll find an eight-line poem in which Pussius Catus details the shortcomings of men, passive-aggressively suggesting the superior nature of cats. And on the back, in pen, is a note from Sayers, a committed cat lady, conveying all good wishes. A rare piece of Sayersiana.
