Read these lines from the poem “the cat and the moon” by william butler yeats. does minnaloushe know that his pupils will pass from change to change, and that from round to crescent, from crescent to round they range? what is the meaning of the imagery in these lines? the moon affects the behavior of the cat. the brightly shining moon blinds the cat. the cat’s afraid of the glare of the moon. the cat’s eyes change just as the moon does.
