Fancy Mice

Famous quotes containing the words fancy and/or mice:

    It is engend’red in the eyes,
    With gazing fed; and fancy dies
    In the cradle where it lies.
    Let us all ring fancy’s knell.
    I’ll begin it—Ding, dong, bell.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    And the sun and the stove and the mice and the gnawed paper
    Made up the days and nights when I missed supper,
    Paring my nails, looking over the farbelow street
    Of tramways and bells. But one night I heard the feet.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
