Famous quotes containing the words fancy and/or mice:
“A symbol is indeed the only possible expression of some invisible essence, a transparent lamp about a spiritual flame; while allegory is one of many possible representations of an embodied thing, or familiar principle, and belongs to fancy and not to imagination: the one is a revelation, the other an amusement.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“The best laid schemes o mice and men Gang aft agley;
An leae us nought but grief an pain, For promisd joy!”
—Robert Burns (17591796)
