When asked the meaning of the line
‘lady, three white leopards sat under a juniper tree in the cool of the day…’ from Ash Wednesday,
T.S. Eliot replied :
“it means ‘lady, three white leopards sat under a juniper tree in the cool of the day…'”
Ask a stupid question………..
[I’m grateful to the excellent American composer, improviser and painter Vanessa Rossetto who quotes this great wisdom on her My Space page]
