The translation is fairly accurate, complete, and well-made. It refers to a later version of the original poem, published in 1762. I prefer the earlier version, because in it the cats form a guild with full bourgeois ceremonial, thus are guilty of forming a parallel society of organized crime. By this fact they cause even more "blindfold" outrage than justified by the actual offences. |
