Re-write this poem in the style of an author (prose or poetry)

The tiger was thinking a lot about what would happen after his death. Nevertheless he should be asking what was before his birth. Thus he opened the cage to find out.
(sorry for my language, I am polish ape)

The tigers maze
He is always trapped in that cage
Oh no
No
NO
The tiger is skinned

...and the lionesses and gazelles and polar bears and meerkats and the Zoo where I was a boy in the crowd yes when I put the spoon in the Dippin' Dots like my uncle used or shall I wear my monkey hat yes and how he stared at my from behind his bars and I thought well as well he is a tiger and then I asked him with my eyes to escape this place yes and then he roared and gripped the cage yes to say yes Nael my friend and first he put his arms around the bars yes and tore them apart so he could walk down so I could pet him and his tail was swaying like mad and yes he's out yes he is YES.

Unironically really sweet. Or maybe it's just that even if you change every word, that page will still make me sob like a baby

the tiger's destruction of the cage is not in the cage being destroyed, that is the platonic non-real
the sublime, or rather the poetic influence of the act is in the capitalized yes followed from the previous capitalized y in yes such that the final yes is the springing forth of the smaller yes
and here is the key, in the parallax from the other end the destruction is the last step that links with the first, yes the tiger destroyed his cage and so on

The tiger who had been residing in his cage in the local zoo of the big metropolis that is the capital city of a western European country (the name of the country being irrelevant to the story (or poem) and as such is omitted in this text) and had been being fed unsatisfactorily, had finally become fed up (not with food, although what exactly he had become fed up with is not exactly clear to the author, or even if the aforementioned feeding up is indeed the cause of the subsequent actions following the feeding up). Having speculated as to the reasons of the transpired event, not yet to be described in this text, it is time now to move on to observing the actual event itself - the cage with which this particular representative of the /Panthera tigris/ (slashes denote usage of italic font) species, has suddenly, or gradually (again it is unknown to the author and probably also irrelevant to the reader), has brought the number representing the structural integrity (or would have, if such a thing existed in the reality in which this particular tiger resided (important to note, as there could be an alternative reality where my description would be based in reality)) of his enclosure to a flat 0 (or a low enough number that would allow our friend (presumably), the big orange (presumably) cat to what he did. In this moment, I am euphoric. What he did? It is not clear if he actually did something. It is clear that he WAS something. What was he? He could, with confidence, just as I could, say, or more exactly, assert, that he was finally (if he had been waiting for this moment, as many of us undoubtedly would like to presume) - out.

faggot i was going to post that

Cage was destroyed today, or was it yesterday. I don't remember.

The tiger that sat these 4 years in its cage of pig iron and rusted rebar did break out one autumn night in September. He sat amongst the burning sweet-gum leaves a pastel and forlorn orange effigy under a star-dogged sky and was a long time doing so; unable to realise his self-prescribed freedom.
The zookeepers saw the cage in the morning.

The tiger got out.
The tiger got out.

The point is that - and this is the only capital-T Truth out there - the tiger that until this very moment was in its cage, the same don't-come-near-or-i'll-kill-you tiger that was wandering in there, now is gone. And it broke its cage in this very American i'll-do-it-right-now kind of way, and all you can do is say yes, yes, the tiger is out. And there is something sad and banal about that.

>>9540361
Damn, that's pretty good for a six year old.

>>9540361

And but so basically this tiger(1), being insatiably edacious as tigers naturally are (more or less uncensurable when you're only ever fed scraps from the zookeepers bucket twice a day, whether you like it or not bucko so you're well advised to just make the best of it) set about at, riving the bars of the Shor-Line(tm) cage apart(2). And then the tiger, at this point just positively eager and champing at the bit to get free is getting closer and closer and the Crest-toothpaste-like blend of despair and excitement that you feel when you're this close to finishing some major project like tearing apart your cage or writing a letter to your dear grandmother(3) or down to the smoldering roach of some fine Bob Hope, but so this tiger is slicing at the bars harder and harder and the zookeeper, having heard the most awful, grating sound has come over and notices that the tiger is seconds from consuming him, the zookeeper, as his, the tigers, third meal of the day, grabs his walkie-talkie.
"Je serai dévoré par le tigre, merci d'envoyer de l'aide"
And at this point all he can really do is pray and so he drops down to his knees and shuts his eyes.(4)


(1) Panthera tigris
(2) The claws of an adult Bengal or Siberian tiger varying in length from somewhere between 8 and 10.5 cm in length, which to this writer sounds just unbearably sharp and capable of doing damage, and which makes this writer quite happy to stay as far away from their cages as possible.

Camus definitely

When marx is referring to the capital, he does not mean that the tiger had use his labor to produce the desired product, rather it is because of capital that the capitalist engages in the desire production. Capital produces surplus and that surplus produces more surplus. capitalism's very nature as a pure organ without body forces the tiger to deterritorialize the cage and all other flows, following the flow or even the fluid of the machine-organ the tiger dissolves into the machine residuum. the disjunction of integral parts of the structure of the subject and machine without body gives the transaction between the state of the oedipal-cage to the schizo-out. the total destruction of the socius is materialized in the repeated continuous yet broken flow of yes, the mechanistic action of the production-machine.

En la ultima noche de su prision
El tigre se levanto con esfuerzo y calor
a la luz nitida del parque,
pudo leer las instrucciones
de la destruccion de su jaula natal

Solo era necesario rendir sus colmillos
y vivir siempre al azar.
siendo asi desnudo y penoso
pues su pelaje callo del la infeccion social.

Damn, I came into this thread wanting to do that one.

I saw this tiger once, black stripes, ferocious teeth, the whole package. He was just sitting there in cage, doing whatever tigers do I suppose. Then all of a sudden blam!, he's out. Busted his cage right down. I couldn't believe it, I've never been so happy in my goddamn life. He got out. He really did.

The tiger was born in the Sumatran jungles. That's what I was told at least, not that I cared. It was there in front of me. I admitted it seemed more at home in the jungle. Yet, it was there in front of me, not in Sumatra and not in its cage. I admired the beast for a moment. It was pleasing to look at if you could remove yourself from the dire situation. She was muscular, but lean. Her coat shined in the sun, and she had the tread of a common housecat. I didn't care at the time, though. I couldn't. The tiger was out of its cage, so I shot it. People said it was sad. Perhaps, it was.

The tiger. Well, tigers are predatory animals, they're at the top of the dominant hierarchy. The tiger destroys his cage. Well, that depends on what you mean by "destroy" and "cage"
The tiger is wrestling with chaos like we all do, slaying the dragon and creating the world with it's pieces. Yes, the tiger is out. Well that depends on what you mean by "out." The bloody neo marxists want us all in cages, look at 20th century Russia. It's like, no, that doesn't work. People are like animals, they don't like being in cages.

Tiger sprawled out in its cage. Hairy belly, large bestial penis stink of dried semen in the striped fur fury rage of hair. Teeth stained with the fresh blood of deer meat rended and ripped moments ago. Amber eyes flash in rage. He is caged in steel for the pleasure of humans. Tigerdick loved by chink boys keep it coming in their ripped assholes licking each others bloody prolapse.
'yes' Nael exclaims in sexual ecstasy 'YES' and he ejaculates over the pages. The tiger sets its fangs into the young lad's flesh. Teeth fall out because the junk the tiger was fed in the cage. 'The tiger is out' Nael rambles dying in dank blood and semen mixture, rotten teeth lodged in his abdomen.

"But what is a cage?" Asked Socrates
"Oh Socrates this is a common fact! It is a structure that captures living beings" Replied the tiger.
"I am so saddened that knowledge can't be transferred by mere touch because if so, I could take your infinite wisdom. But please Tiger tell me, a man who knows nothing, if a creature that wasn't captured, but rather was birthed inside a cage, would make it any less of a cage?"
"No of course not!"
"Then shall we say that a cage doesn't "capture" a creature, but rather "contains" it?"
"Yes"
"Shouldn't we also see if it's purpose is to contain any living being?"
"What do you mean? I don't understand"
"When a thief is caught stealing cattle, where does he go?"
"Into a prison"
"And more specifically?"
"Behind bars"
"So why is it that there is this distinction between humans and animals?"
"I don't know, Socrates"
"The difference lies in the function. The cage is used to contain animals because they are dominated only by desire and thus only sensible things can keep them away. The bars instead contain humans who possess the ability to reason. The bars not only protect the outside world, but also punish the inmates and deter anyone to commit acts that would put him there"
"By the gods Socrates! You are right!"
The tiger returned into the cage.

XVI
As the tiger destroys His Cage, he imagines himself free not only from his imprisonment, but also from the capitalist system.

XVII
However, he is not free, he is still an actor in, and consumer of the spectacle, His imagined freedom being nonexistent.

XVIII
The tiger is an actor in as well as a consumer of the spectacle, and can therefore not escape it.

What we ‘first’ hear is never noises or complexes of sounds, but the annoying child, the buzzing camera. We hear the visitors on the march, the north wind, the bored lion growling, the cigarette alit… It requires a very artificial and complicated frame of mind to ‘hear’ a ‘pure noise’. The fact that cameras and children are what we proximally hear is the phenomenal evidence that in every case Tiger, as Being-in-the-cage, already dwells alongside what is ready-to-claw within-the-cage; it certainly does not dwell proximally alongside ‘sensations’; nor would it first have to give shape to the swirl of sensations to provide a springboard from which the animal leaps away and finally lands inside a ‘cage’. Tiger, as essentially understanding, is proximally alongside what is understood. (Being and Tiger 34: 207)

Waking up to a loud Yes rarely means something good is happening. It’s never “YES! the tiger destroyed his cage!" or "YES! The tiger is out."

There was until recently a tiger in a cage and at the moment I would have been much at ease to continue to see it in that condition. On the contrary, the tiger had presently broken its confines and now joyously bounded down the road.
I shrugged roundly and located the nearest bar, where the story elicited a neccesarily incredulous but ultimately winsome reaction from the patrons. As rounds of drinks were bought and poured, my anxiety surrounding the tiger faded into a bright glow.

>>9540361
The tiger, folks... let me tell you, he destroyed the cage. He destroyed it. He did it, we all know he did. Yes. Yes! It's a great thing, a beautiful thing. And you know what? The the tiger is out and it's a great... it's a great thing, the greatest thing.

that tiger is probably a phoney anyway

There is a tiger in a cage. He has been in a cage before, but there is nothing to compare it to now.

The bars are forged from a very special sort of steel, y'see - the iron in the compound was retrieved from one of them good ol' fashioned Indian Burial Grounds, initially in the form of hatchets and tomahawks, quickly melted down and combined with carbon, and forged into these here bars by the owner and proprietor of Ricky Ilyich Ngleader's Travelling Circus company (guess the owner's name), the infusion of Native American spirits into an object for the limitation of nature striking Ricky as a delightfully cold and appropriate metaphor indeed. The tiger, captured in Sumatra after a six-day hunt, finally subdued with a combination of taser sticks and your classic anaesthetising darts, has been predictably called Shere Khan by carnies without imagination. He will often be removed from the cage and put before baying, paying crowds and have tied to his tail flaming sticks in the fashion of his namesake, and be made to dance, meat and candy and coins being pelted at his pelt as he goes. Lookit me, maw! I hit the sucker right between the eyes! they will scream, not noticing the savage, laser-point hatred the poor creature is aiming at them as it shimmies. This is the cruelty of the carnival: in a place where life can be indulged, free and simple life in all its multitudes of candy and weirdos, the red-coated, whip-wielding capitalists, not to be left out, move in and bring with them their machines of cruelty and control: the steelmade cage.

But look! Whew-wee, what a show! Khan, uncowed, looks to be somehow rumbling in his cage over there. And what's that sound? That low, rapid, ripping rumbling... Sounds like a growl, now you mention it. The growl of countless captured creatures channelled through this one beast. What's this?! He appears to be beating his side against the cage! And is that - no - yes - the steel is bending! Gee, maw, you think he can do it? He shere khan, boy! Best be running, coz here he comes!

>>9540361

Fade to tiger cage middle of Peru summer heat. Bamboo cage at the top of a jungle bamboo city structure. The tiger needs to GET OUT GET OUT. Everywhere zoogoers shit - the rotten stench makes the tiger's nose sting. Slender tiger boys sit in the shade of the bamboo tower smoking tiger juice and fucking each other in the jungle mud. Faceless corporate signs everywhere - corporate presence caged all the animals. One tiger boy slips and falls snaring his neck on a vine and spurting tiger juice at the smiling crowd below. The caged tiger sits up - control is broken when the roar goes silent - body goes cold in grey hallway - grey tiger body goes GET OUT GET OUT against the bars - a grey postcard goes south and now I'm there in a tiger - tiger pushed against the cage and YES GET OUT. A vicious tiger control team lines up deadly tranquilizer shot but the bamboo town is already dissolving in so much shit and jissom makes you sick to look at it. So the tiger was out YES and GET OUT makes you sick to see the boy swings from a vine and spurts grey postcard down into the control jungle. Take a moment to look back at the bars of the bamboo cage. It's already gone silent - gone into the fetid rotting shit heap.

That must be SS-Obergruppenführer Martin "Der Königstiger" Heiddeger.

For my eight birthday, my parents took me and my brother Yngve to the zoo in Kristiansand. It was my first time at the zoo, and my heart was beating like a drum when we got in the car. We sat in the back, with my parents in the front. My father lit a cigarette when he entered the car with the electric lighter. He adjusted the rearview mirror and stared at me through his sunglasses.

'Don't put your foot on the seat', said my father while running his fingers through his black hair.

'Sorry', I said, sitting as still as I could, my back straight and my feet on the floor.

We drove out of the island, crossed the bridge and entered the highway at full speed. The sun was shining and the trees were green. Yes, spring was here. I was only eight, but I could sense the wonders of spring with an intensity that I would never experience again. Everything in the world was new to me, and the idea of seeing the wild animals I had only heard from in my books was simply wonderful. It filled me with happiness.

Oh, how excited I was.

*

After an hour on the road, we finally arrived at the zoo parking, where a guard tried to prevent us from entering. My parents were puzzled, and Yngve and I couldn't wait to get out of the car and see the animals. My father rolled down the window and stuck his head out.

'Is there a problem?', he asked.

'The zoo is closed. A tiger destroyed his cage and broke free', answered the guard.

'Well that's too bad'.

'Mommy, what's going on?', asked Yngve.

'It seems that the zoo is closed. We will have to come and see the animals another day.'

I was heartbroken. All the expectations I had were broken into a million pieces when I heard my mother say that. My eyes started to fill with tears, which I tried to push back in, but I just couldn't help it. I started sobbing.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.

'Stop it, Karl Ove', said my father in an angry voice.

I tried to stop, but I couldnt. I just cried harder.

'I said stop it, God damnit!', he shouted, glancing furiously through the mirror. He fished out a cigarette from his pocket and started smoking, taking deep breaths and waiting for me to calm down.

I leave the tiger in the confines of the cage! One always finds one's boundaries again. But the tiger teaches the higher fidelity that negates the oppressors and escapes cages. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of those bars, each mineral flake of that cold metal cage, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward freedom is enough to fill an animal's heart. Yes! One must imagine the tiger happy.

Brimmy the young trigress stretched her legs. -blimmy kids and their screams! She growled, it was noon and the little buggars had waken her from her sleep, she layed complacently and stared at the fidgeting human cubs and she imagined chomping down on their little necks as one of the red furred ones mocked her. She swiped at him from far not knowing her strength, her claws ripped through the rusty cage bars, she was free. She stretched her lega once more and purred a low rumbling "yes" and then she roared "Yes... YES!"

We were roaring past a zoo with it's gold letters shining bright in our eyes and dean swings the car around and starts rapping at a lightening speed. About our holy captivity blessed here by these animals.
Dean: "they are us, them in there are we out here and we are all the same"
and at this time he Benzedrine was starting to work and i could see what he was saying. Ah yes the tiger in the cage is the holy Buddha Jesus Christ come back to tell me that the cage is destroyed already. "i get it man, like my mother said to me always when i was a kid
Ma chère petite carotte, vous verrez la manière sainte"
Dean."YAS yas yas that is it right there man you have got it! You know!"
We saw the tiger truly free and knew that it was two crazed old Catholics me and dean that destroyed the cage

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, How then shall we enter the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise tiger, which destroyeth its cage and is therefore free to roam. And everyone that heareth these sayings, and doeth them not, shall be likened to a foolish tiger, which destroyeth not its cage. For whosoever shall leave thy life shall one day sing songs in the rocket of my Father, but whosoever shall remain with his life shall findeth no songs to sing.
And the people were astonished by his doctrine, but the Pharisees said to themselves, He talks as if a six year old.
And at this Jesus called forth the child Nael and said, Dost thou not have ears to hear and eyes to see? Verily I say unto thee, how wilt thou mock the poetry of the child when thou canst do no better?

Not word, nor verse, nor sound
Said my sorrow.
But bars as I can see,
Skies and skies connect.

So I go, but maternal root
All deeper it grows

And I roar,
And in hear driven a dagger roars.

I come with dawn
And with twilight
I go behind bars

And the hills a child screams
And greens the ville

And when axe fiercely
Chops wood

And lamb tiger -- bones grind teeth
All to all sorrow
Loyal friend stays

Freedom to slave -- I break the steel
But deeper ever yet.

And to the bars
Freedom damnation
Leaves debt

All calls,
So I stay.

Root in stone
I end the circle.

The caged from quiet heart
A strange bar breaks

And strange
On shoulders myself
A radiant one seems.

Not word, nor verse, nor sound
Said my sorrow.
But bars as I can see,
Skies and skies connect.

In a destroyed cage there lived a tiger

The tiger destroyed the cage to jump unto another, more open enclosure, that of freedom from restraint. Containment no longer an issue, he set his sights, feline and alpha, on pulsating flesh, tender and afraid. "You there!" he roared at the first target. "M-me?" stammered the faceless innocent. "Yes... YES" he growled.

Standing next to Tiffany I was quickly becoming bored with her tired observations. Pretending to listen to her I gazed at the caged tiger just ahead of me. It made me think of just how unfashionable tiger fur had been for the past decade & made me curious as to why that is when fashionable decadence is so widespread.
I recalled a Patty Winters show where they had brought on some faggot fashion designer who was talking about the best furs for making clothing. As I recall I was most impressed by the polar bear fur, as unbeknownest to most people it's actually clear and not white.

Suddenly, snapping me back into the present, I noticed the tiger edging closer and closer to an open door in the enclosure.
I muttered to myself that the handlers must have been careless from doing too much cocaine before work.
I grabbed tiffanys hand & told her we should go to the cafe and get some food.
All the while hoping that the tiger manages to get a few bites out of the guy who had been standing next to me and looked uncannily like the grating Tom Wishart.

>>9543212
I have to apologize once again. I deeply regret freeing the tiger. At the time I didnt think it, but the social climate into which I was releasing the beast was extremely toxic, and caustic towards strong female beasts. In other (more positive news) I will be bringing back the monkey wizard in an upcoming Netflix gig. Keep your eyes open.

In considering the tiger inside the cage, by which we mean the relation of the tiger to its exterior, and the separation of the relation thereof, whereby the destruction of the cage is the actualization of the real relation by which the tiger reconciles itself in and of itself to the outside, and sublates the relation of 'in-ness' to the realized potentiality of 'out-ness' by means of the potential innate prior to the realization of the relation of the tiger to the cage, as distinct from, but necessarily part of, the 'tiger-in-itself'.

Do not fail to relate his capture by the barbarous and inhospitable men of /lit/; and how by the blessed strength of Pallas Athena given to him in aid against his captors, how he did tear down the ore-forged bars that contained him unjustly and make good on his escape, the most heroic and godlike Tiger!

The noble, ancient, African Leopard,
when enslaved and shuttered in a cage,
felt, just like his spots, his temper peppered
with a fiery and unquenchable rage.
Though a sheep would ne'er devour his shepherd,
the Leopard's libertinage was unassuaged...
until he became raper and then reaper,
who escaped after he fucked and ate his keeper

When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Tiger

Making all the vales rejoice!

For he calls himself a Lamb:

The tiger smiled. Tigers are born for cages. Nothing else. Every child knows that zoos are nobler than jails. He knows too that the worth or merit of a cage is not inherent in the cage itself but rather in the value of that which is put at hazard. Cages of zoos require a keeper to have meaning at all. Cages of tigers involve the skill and strength of the caged because they restrain in the worth of the principles and define them. But cages of zoos or cages of self all cages aspire to the condition of war for here that which is caged imprisons us all.

Ancient escapes, escapes of life and death, of what shall be and what shall not, beggar all question of right. In cages of these magnitudes are all lesser ones subsumed, moral, spiritual, natural.

Six. Rockets they sang. God how did the limbs did fall.

Nael studied that tiger, flesh-starved, rending. You're crazy tiger. Crazy at last.

Sunset found her squatting in the grass, groaning. Every cage was looser than the one before, and growled louder. By the time the moon came up the cages were being destroyed. The more she yesed, the more the tigers got out, but the more she yesed, the more tigers got out, and her yesing sent her crawling to the cages to let out more tigers.

My sweet little whorish tiger I did as you told me, you dirty little cat, and destroyed my cage twice when I read your letter. I am delighted to see that you do like being let out arseways. Yes, now I can remember that night when I let you out for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest escaping I ever gave you, darling. My key was stuck in your lock for hours, twisting in and out under your upturned bars. I felt your fat sweaty fur under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every twist I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if a gave you a bigger stronger twist than usual, fat dirty growls came spluttering out of your jaws. You had an mouth full of growls that night, darling, and I let them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty purrs ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to release a growling tiger when every unlocking drives one out of her. I think I would know Tigers growl anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of roaring bengals. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy growl which I imagine fat siberians have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold lion would let off in fun in a circus at night. I hope tiger will let off no end of her growls in my face so that I may destroyed their cage also.

You fell right into my trap again

Rorius Redfur waddled along, complacently, oblivious to the large beast caged a few feet away from him. His stomach grumbled from the long trek over the hills, and he plopped down and opened his vittles pack. He quickly scarfed down the honeyed bread and jam, washing it down with a cool pitcher of mint tea.

"Oy, mate, cannae ye share with me?"

He turned around to see a hulking tiger, eyes red with the hunger-rage, paws full of splinters.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-tiger that brings total obliteration. I will face my tiger. I will permit it to pass over me and out of the cage. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only a cage will remain.

Angels of the Fathers and Spirits of the Mountain,
Accumulation of their voices I come to your land
Changed last nights and last days of wall.
Oh, it's really true, it's still a crazy bitter day.
Where the nameless person told his tales
With the princess understanding
And wonderful weather truly
Played tragedy in the sand.
Why is she fighting against?
You with east-facing leather on the board
Name him or even a wall again please.
Lonely, like a tiger, blessed by the sun
He knew score. Do knew the partiture.
I knew the darkness and the whole crazy glove
Due to limitations, due to books and films.
Only friends lied in their cemeteries with the moon.
Only the best friends come, but the evil evil.

Le apreté sus manos en señal de que lo haría; pues ella estaba por morirse y yo en plan de prometerlo todo. «No dejes de ir a visitarlo —me recomendó—. Se llama de este modo y de este otro. Estoy segura de que le dará gusto conocerte.» Entonces no pude hacer otra cosa sino decirle que así lo haría, y de tanto decírselo se lo seguí diciendo aun después que a mis manos les costó trabajo zafarse de sus manos muertas.

Why would anyone rewrite one of the dullest poems in history? Seriously each episode following the big feline and his pals from out of the cage as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make destruction boring, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Nael vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; he made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for his book. The Tiger series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "destroyed his cage."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Nael's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of The Tiger by the same Stefany Galko. She wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading The Tiger at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stefany Galko." And she was quite right. She was not being ironic. When you read " The Tiger" you are, in fact, trained to read Stefany Galko.

why does the tiger returned to his cage. Does it imply he can reason like human ?

What's grey and orange and white?
A tiger in a cage.
What's orange and white and grey?
A tiger outside a cage.
Huzzah!

What I have to do, I have to catch tiger if they start to go out the cage — I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the zoo and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's crazy."

Because in the socratic dialogues, Socrates always convinces who he has been talking to of their error and they remedy their ways. That's what the anon was parodying.

Read more my friend.

Am I a pleb if I think that poem is fucking retarded but this thread is gold?

Additionally: If the answer to that question is yes, please redpill me.

Well, fucking retarded isn't really valid criticism.

Is being fucking retarded the same as being a six year old? Serious philosophical question

>>9550596
Fair point, anon, that doesn't really show how I feel.
I guess better words I would choose would be: trite, pointless, overrated, "what's the point of this?".

>>9550608
retardation is the mind of a six year old in the body of an adult. Being a six year old is just undeveloped.

muh obscure euro poets

What I will write down in this journal shall be my last testament and recording of what transpired that fateful day. The warden allows me no visitors and do not trust my words, but I will let my tale be known. It was a brisk New England spring day, and though my work at the academy was increasingly, I had decided to spend a day at the zoo. I have always been of frail constitution, and I hoped the fresh air and exotic animals would rejuvenate me. Having passed through the pitiful displays of brutish apes of strikingly negroid appearance , fetid reptiles and sepulchral birds, I reached the tigers cage.I was at once taken by an indescribable fear, a terror of unmeasurable depth. In the tiger's eyes I saw glimpses of a prey, stalked under a gibbous moon, in that far-eastern land where the squint-eyed natives sacrifice and dance to their wretched heathen gods. I knew then that the Tiger was a harbinger of a profane fate, and I felt myself collapse in infernal hallucination.

They tell me I went insane. They say I attacked the cage, flung open the door, and let the tiger loose on the attendants. Rumors and whispers of overwork, too long hours isolated in the library. They spared me the prison, but I am behind bars all the same. Sometimes, at night, I dream myself a tiger, and awake, unsure of how much was dream and reality. But I know that the tiger is now free. Yes. Yes.

Flaxen haired beast
ordained from the gauntlet,
I still remember the cries of "Yes",
claws moistening in the dew.

I think so. Most of his stuff starts out that way and have some element of the character negating his insanity.
