Jubilate Agno by Christopher Smart
"Jubilate Agno" is a long, idiosyncratic poem written in the form of a hymn. Composed during the author's confinement in an asylum, the work is a celebration of God's creation, blending the mundane with the divine. It is best known for its section dedicated to the author's cat, Jeoffry, which has been widely appreciated for its whimsical and affectionate portrayal of the pet's daily rituals as acts of praise. The poem's structure is unconventional, with a fragmented and associative style, and it ranges across a vast array of subjects, from biblical figures to personal reflections, all while maintaining a sense of joy and reverence for the natural world and its Creator.
