Anna Kavan Quotes

Are You Afraid Of The Tigers? Do You Hear Them Padding All Round You On Their Fierce Fine Velvet Feet? The Speed Of Growth Of Tigers In The Nightland Is A Thing Which Ought To Be Investigated Some Time By The Competent Authority. You Start Off With One, About The Size Of A Mouse, And Before You Know Where You Are He's Twice The Size Of The Sumatra Tiger Which Defeats All Comers In That Hemisphere. And Then, Before You Can Say Knife (not A Very Tactful Thing To Say In The Circumstances Anyhow), All His Boy And Girl Friends Are Gathered Round, Your Respectable Quiet Decorous Docile Night Turns Itself Into A Regular Tiger-garden.
