Dust Puppy

Famous quotes containing the words dust and/or puppy:

    Sometimes Death, puffing at the doore,
    Blows all the dust about the floore:
    But while he thinks to spoil the room, he sweeps.
    Blest be the Architect, whose art
    Could build so strong in a weak heart.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Why does not the kitten betray some of the attributes common to the adult puss? A puppy is but a dog, plus high spirits, and minus common sense. We never hear our friends say they love puppies, but cannot bear dogs. A kitten is a thing apart; and many people who lack the discriminating enthusiasm for cats, who regard these beautiful beasts with aversion and mistrust, are won over easily, and cajoled out of their prejudices, by the deceitful wiles of kittenhood.
    Agnes Repplier (1858–1950)
