Reference: These words are from the poem “Macavity – the mystery cat” written by T.S. Eliot.
Context: T.S Eliot says, these words describing the skills of Macavity – The mystery cat.
Explanation: Macavity does all kinds of mischiefs, petty thefts. He breaks things also. But before anyone could link the crime to Macavity he makes good his escape, floating in the air, jumping from building to building. His powers of levitation baffles even a fakir who has mystical powers.
Comment: The truth behind levitation is well brought out.
