My God – Life! Who can understand even one little minute of it? I shrieked at Julian Castle. “Don’t try”, he said. “Just pretend you understand.” Castle quotes a poem:
Tiger got to hunt
Bird got to fly
Man got to sit and wonder, “Why, why, why?”
Tiger got to sleep
Bird got to land
Man got to tell himself he understands.
Kurt Vonnegut J.r, Cat’s Cradle (p.124)
