Famous quotes containing the words fancy and/or rats:
“For poetry, he’s past his prime,
He takes an hour to find a rhyme;
His fire is out, his wit decayed,
His fancy sunk, his muse a jade.
I’d have him throw away his pen,
But there’s no talking to some men.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“When the cat’s away, the rats dance on the table.”
—Swedish proverb, trans. by Verne Moberg.
