Small and Squeaky
I have an interesting fact:
Scottish Poetry
- To A Mouse
- On Turning Her Up In Her Nest With The Plough, November 1785
It is the mark of the genius of Burns that he can turn a small incident in a field into a profound observation about human beings: "The best-laid schemes o mice an men ang aft agley".
To A Mouse
Wee sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie,
O, what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
Wi bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an chase thee,
Wi murdering pattle!
I'm truly sorry man's dominion
Has broken Nature's social union,
An justifies that ill opinion,
Which makes thee startle
At me, thy poor, earth-born companion,
An fellow mortal!
THe great scottish poet Rabbie Burns wrote "Tae a moose" exactly 200 years before I was born.........
So there
