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.
