Famous quotes containing the words stray and/or cats:
“Since the torch is out,
Lie down and stray no further.”

“When cats run home and light is come,
And dew is cold upon the ground,
And the far-off stream is dumb,
And the whirring sail goes round,
And the whirring sail goes round;
Alone and warming his five wits,
The white owl in the belfry sits.”
