JellicleCats are fl and white, JellicleCats are rather small; JellicleCats are merry and bright, And pleasant to hear when they caterwaul.
JellicleCats have cheerful faces, JellicleCats have bright fl eyes; They like to practise their airs and graces And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise.
JellicleCats are fl and white, JellicleCats (as I said) are small; If it happens to be a stormy night They will practise a caper or two in the hall.
The Jelliclecats, or simply the Jellicles, are a type of feline mentioned in T.
Introduced in his poem Song of the Jellicles, they were originally depicted by Eliot as common fl-and-white cats whose daytime nature is peaceful, pleasant and restive — but who possess an active love of nightlife.
The name jellicle comes from a previously unpublished poem by Eliot entitled "Pollicle Dogs and JellicleCats", where jelliclecats is a corruption of dear little cats and pollicle dogs of poor little dogs.
I think Jelliclecats are decedants of the egyptian goddess Bast, and around the middle ages were persecuted as witches and demons, but then leant to use Glamor (the illusionary magic used by the fae folk).
Jellicle Songs for JellicleCats lists all different types of cats from rabbinical to delphic-oracle, and all those cats are Jellicles.
During the "Song of the Jellicles" I believe each cat is naming their best features and strutting their stuff to say, "I'm what defines what is Jellicle." Basically all cats are Jellicle as all dogs are Pollicle, but unique traits belonging to each cat is what makes them truely Jellicle.
This photograph shows Song of the Jellicles, a sketch in The Punch Revue in 1955.
Punch was founded in 1841, and for 150 Years continued its tradition of, humorous political and social comment and cartoons.
Nowadays of course, 'The Song of the Jellicles' and 'The Old Gumbie Cat' are more familiar to most people in their settings by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who used the Old Possum poems to create his phenomenally successful musical Cats.
Because Jellicles are and Jellicles do Jellicles would and Jellicles could Jellicles would and Jellicles can Jellicles can and Jellicles do When you fall on your head, do you land on your feet?
Jelliclecats are queen of the nights Singing at astronomical heights Handling pieces from the 'Messiah' Hallelujah, angelical Choir The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity Round the cathedral rang 'Vivat' Life to the everlasting cat!
Jelliclecats come out tonight Jelliclecats come one, come all The Jellicle moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle ball Jelliclecats are fl and white Jelliclecats are rather small Jelliclecats are merry and bright And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul
