Contrast of other animals - insolent, lazy, uninterested, reduced from their physical form,

- “Parrots…strut like cheap tarts”
- “Fatigued with indolence”
- “Boa-constrictor’s coil Is a fossil”

- “Painted on a nursery wall”

Jaguar appears powerful - deep emotion, anger, restlessness, powerful, mental strength

- “The crowd stands, stares, mesmerised”
- “Hurryinh enraged”
- “Drills of his eyes”
- “Short fierce fuse”
- “Child at a dream”
- “Eye satisfied to be blind in fire”
- “Bang of blood”


Extends to a supernatural and other worldly image - endless, purposeful, farsighted, wise,
above animalistic instincts

- “”Visionary”
- “Wildernesses of freedom”
- “The world rolls under…his heel”
- “The horizons come”
- “There's no cage to him”

Sudden awakening - immediate, entranced, dream-like, lucid

“Sudden sharp hot stink of fox”

as a sport
