Read the excerpt from "the golden cat." great is the golden cat who treads the blue roof garden o'er our heads, the never tired smiling one that human people call the sun. he stretches forth his paw at dawn and though the blinds are closely drawn his claws peep through like rays of light, to catch the fluttering bird of night. what is the meaning of the figurative language in lines 5 and 6? the sun rises at the edge of the dark sky. the cat paws at the blinds to let in the light. the drawn blinds hide the night from the cat. the sun pushes aside the night as if it were blinds.
