- Abstract
- en_US Kyber wrote in German and died in 1933. I have read the first few of these stories. They are whistful, hopeful, positive. A cat keeps her promise not to attack the mice having a great time at the great mouse ball occasioned by finding a tub of butter! A mayfly leaves its former body and is near victim of a hungry frog, while an economist ant and philosopher beetle discuss the mayfly's strange present duality. The ant could not believe that the mayfly subsists on sun and air and lives for only a day. But what is life but a mayfly's day? All life is an eternal Easter (28). The seal Jeremiah Satintop longs for peaceful listening to the bells of Tierra del Fuego but lands on an island where Penguins go screeching and arguing about eggs through the whole experience. Jeremiah chooses instead to live on his own solitary island listening to those bells.
