Kenneth Grahame

Kenneth Grahame
An errant May-fly swerved unsteadily athwart the current in the intoxicated fashion affected by young bloods of May-flies seeing life. A swirl of water and a 'cloop!' and the May-fly was visible no more
Kenneth Grahame
Monkeys who very sensibly refrain from speech, lest they should be set to earn their livings.
Kenneth Grahame
It seemed a place where heroes could fitly feast after victory, where weary harvesters could line up in scores along the table and keep their Harvest Home with mirth and song, or where two or three friends of simple tastes could sit about as they pleased and eat and smoke and talk in comfort and contentment.
Kenneth Grahame

Kenneth Grahame

Kenneth Grahame
Footprints in the snow have been unfailing provokers of sentiment ever since snow was first a white wonder in this drab-coloured world of ours.
Kenneth Grahame
Take the adventure, heed the call, now ere the irrevocable moment passes! 'Tis but a banging of the door behind you, a blithesome step forward, and you are out of your old life and into the new!
Kenneth Grahame
He had got down to the bones of it, and they were fine and strong and simple.
Kenneth Grahame
For my life, I confess to you, feels to me today somewhat narrow and circumscribed.
Kenneth Grahame
Home! That was what they meant, those caressing appeals, Those soft touches wafted through the air, those invisible little hands pulling and tugging, all one way.
Kenneth Grahame
Brain against brute force - and brain came out on the top - as its bound to do.
Kenneth Grahame
The past was like a bad dream the future was all happy holiday as I moved Southwards week by week, easily, lazily, lingering as long as I dared, but always heeding the call!
Kenneth Grahame
O what a flowery track lies spread before me, henceforth! What dust clouds shall spring up behind me as I speed on my reckless way! What carts I shall fling carelessly into the ditch in the wake of my magnificent onset!
Kenneth Grahame
Independence is all very well, but we animals never allow our friends to make fools of themselves beyond a certain limit and that limit you've reached
Kenneth Grahame
