Famous quotes containing the words brush and/or mouse:
“A brush had left a crooked stroke
Of what was either cloud or smoke
From north to south across the blue;
A piercing little star was through.”

Found a rather large mouse in his stew.
Said the waiter, Dont shout,
Or wave it about,
Or the rest will be wanting one too.”
