Annie Dillard’s essay "The Death Of A Moth" made no sense to me when I initially read it‚ in a "sleep-deprived" state. In the haze my mind was in‚ during the battle with my body and my desire to read this essay‚ all I could make out was that; she berated the small cat about her short-term memory before kicking her out of the bed they shared.
