Literature has drawn a funny perimeter that other art forms

Summary

This quote suggests that literature possesses a unique and distinct quality that sets it apart from other forms of art. It implies that literature has established its own distinctive boundaries or limits, perhaps in terms of narrative structure, storytelling techniques, or the use of language. Unlike other art forms such as painting, music, or dance, literature is acknowledged for creating a comedic and humorous zone that is not as extensively explored or defined in other creative disciplines.

I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the horses the new strength of fear for the last mill so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.
