Little Cat Feet

Pictures by Edouard Manet·Words by Carl Sandburg

Edouard Manet's quick sketch of a cat curled up asleep sits on the cover, and inside is Carl Sandburg's short poem "Fog," where the fog comes on little cat feet and then moves on. Sandburg's poem first appeared in his 1916 collection Chicago Poems. For a cat lover, or someone who would welcome a quiet word.
