Fancy Mice

Famous quotes containing the words fancy and/or mice:

    And Change with hurried hand has swept these scenes:
    The woods have fallen, across the meadow-lot
    The hunter’s trail and trap-path is forgot,
    And fire has drunk the swamps of evergreens;
    Yet for a moment let my fancy plant
    These autumn hills again: the wild dove’s haunt,
    The wild deer’s walk: in golden umbrage shut,
    Frederick Goddard Tuckerman (1821–1873)

    For something is amiss or out of place
    When mice with wings can wear a human face.
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
