Famous quotes containing the words fen and/or spider:
“Feather-footed through the plashy fen passes the questing vole.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“But chief to heedless flies the window proves
A constant death; where gloomily retired,
The villain spider lives, cunning and fierce,
Mixture abhorred! Amid a mangled heap
Of carcases in eager watch he sits,
O’erlooking all his waving snares around.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
