A long, long sleep

A famous sleep

That makes no show for dawn

By stretch of limb or stir of lid,

— an independent one.

Was ever idleness like this?

Within a hut of stone

To bask the centuries away

Nor once look up for noon?

– Emily Dickinson

Pepper, trying to establish that being a cat is infinitely more rewarding, sleep-wise, than being a human.
