The fog comes on little cat feet.It sits lookingover harbor

Summary

This quote by American poet Carl Sandburg beautifully depicts the arrival and departure of fog in a city. With the use of the metaphor "little cat feet," Sandburg describes how the fog silently creeps in, observing the harbor and city. It lingers for a moment, like a cat sitting on its haunches, before eventually moving on. The imagery and quiet presence of the fog remind us of the calm and fleeting nature of certain moments in life, emphasizing the transitory and mysterious aspects of our surroundings.

It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle that modern methods of instruction have not entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom; without this it goes to wrack and ruin without fail. It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty.
