It is true that there is a full-face relief of a cat head on St. Innocent Bastion. It is also true that the Constructors, in order to make the Fortress long living, immured a live cat exactly in that place. It is true, although few people know it, that the full-face relief actually represents just slightly indicated (hidden!) tiger image. All this refers to the idea that Red Tiger rules over the South, Black Tiger over the North, Blue Tiger over the East and White Tiger over the West. The fifth, Yellow Tiger, rules over all other Tigers, and he lives in the middle, i.e. in the Fortress, which confirms an old story about the Fortress as the Central Empire. This brilliant beast from the family of cats could not stand for long to live in one shape only. Its gift of metamorphosis and the gift of Dimitrije Ćurčić to see behind the veil of the First Phenomenal, have transformed the Tiger's stripes into the stripes of a harmless Zebra. The Power of Dimitrije has not come to him by chance; it reveals itself only to those who have the gift of Seeing, and Dimitrije has learned how to see from the paintings of the Renaissance and Baroque masters, from Spanish and Italian engravers, especially from the works of the 20th- century metaphysical painters.
