Welcome to Art & Verse! On January 12th, we’re celebrating:

  • Jack London (b. 1876), famed novelist known for The Call of the Wild and White Fang.
  • John Hancock (b. 1737), American founding father whose bold signature made history.
  • Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (b. 1918), the Indian guru who popularized Transcendental Meditation worldwide.

Today’s featured poem is “Macavity, the Mysterious Cat” by T.S. Eliot, a playful yet cunning ode to a master criminal in feline form. Originally published in 1939, this classic is now in the public domain.
