    Aliona Fezoua My Expert Commentary ‘The Bat’ – Theodore Roethke: By day the bat is cousin to the mouse. He likes the attic of an aging house. His fingers make a hat about his head. His pulse beat is so slow we think him dead. He loops in crazy figures half the night Among the trees that face the corner light. But when he brushes up against a screen‚ We are afraid of what our eyes have seen: For something is amiss or out of place When mice with wings can wear a human face.

She didn’t want to tell the truth because she feared Bailey would become furious and ultimately they were all killed at the
