Your Morning Djebar
For Tuesday, August 4th, 2026
“Dante compares this language—which is like yours, when you come back to me intangibly—to the “perfumed panther,” the mythical animal of medieval bestiaries. He adds, and I quote for all three of you: “Hearing the call of the panther, the other animals follow it wherever it goes, attracted by so much fragrant softness.”
― Assia Djebar, Algerian White

“The perfumed panther”…Surely not the pink one?
