Famous quotes containing the words fancy and/or mice:
“When I was one-and-twenty

But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies,
But keep your fancy free.”
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“For something is amiss or out of place
When mice with wings can wear a human face.”
