Mile Walking

Famous quotes containing the words mile and/or walking:

“There was a crooked man, and he went a crooked mile,

He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.”

“The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand:
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
“If this were only cleared away,”
They said, “it would be grand!”
“If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year,
Do you suppose,” the Walrus said,
“That they could get it clear?”
“I doubt it,” said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
