"is cat ag cru na greine"
- which I thought meant:
"And the cat milking the sun"
- although it is rendered as:
"A cat sun-baking"
- in the translation that I copied from here (scroll down) in the previous post.
In any case, I was reminded of the poem by:
"Svartalf sprawled on a broad windowsill. Sunlight flooded his blackness. He absorbed it like a rug."
-Operation Luna, 4, p. 29.
Svartalf is a cat.
See Sean O'Riodain.

Kaor, Paul!
No one seems to have commented on it, but Svartalf must be a very ANCIENT cat. He had already been Virginia's familiar for maybe 15 years in OPERATION CHAOS. Meaning he was about 30 years old in OPERATION LUNA, which is very old for a cat (generally living about 15 years at most). Plainly, by using magic to preserve his health, Virginia also extended his life span.
Could magic be used in the OPERATION timeline to medically extend human lifespans?
Ad astra! Sean
