Soap Bubbles and the Cat

How transitory the life is! How quickly it passes by! We just finished Our dinner, and We are hungry again… This feeling of brevity of Our existence is strenghened by a severe diet that We have chosen to obtain health and make Our life longer. What an irony of fortune!
Yes, Our dinner was like soap bubbles, crunch-crunch, and nothing rests…

Karel Dujardin, Boy Blowing Soap Bubbles and Cat hunting for them. Allegory on the Transitoriness and the Brevity of Life

Thus spake today Zarathustra the Cat, after having dietic crisps

P.S. You should have look at the commonly known version of Karel Dujardin’s masterpiece at the National Gallery of Denmark,
Loook at both versions, and compare: the cat’s presence at the painting gives hope that finally We’ll catch this soap bubble – life, doesn’t it?
