Famous quotes containing the words tree and/or mouse:
“The windy springs and the blazing summers, one after another, had enriched and mellowed that flat tableland; all the human effort that had gone into it was coming back in long, sweeping lines of fertility. The changes seemed beautiful and harmonious to me; it was like watching the growth of a great man or of a great idea. I recognized every tree and sandbank and rugged draw. I found that I remembered the conformation of the land as one remembers the modelling of human faces.”
—Willa Cather (18731947)
“An epicure dining at Cree
Found a rather large mouse in his stew.
Said the waiter, Dont shout,
Or wave it about,
Or the rest will be wanting one too.”
—Anonymous.
