Quotes from Comic Insects (F. A. S. Reid)
“ It makes one shudder to think of the fate That giddy bluebottles and gnats may await. Yet wonder we must, as we watch them spread Their beautiful nets with their silken thread; [34] "It makes me shudder to think of the fate That giddy blue-bottles and gnats may await." And happier feel at the sign of that Power That guides each to weave such a fairy-like bower ”
“ OH, wonder I much what this book contains! Can Insects talk, and do they have brains? I always thought that these queer little things Were made up entirely of legs, wings, and stings. A Black-Beetle teach me! ”
