widenerlibrary:Another Gustave Doré illustration, appropriate for a gloomy April day in Cambridge. This dark fable tells of an owl who shares a tree trunk with a large cohort of mice. The owl systematically bites one foot off of each mouse to prevent any from escaping; he then basically has a mouse buffet available to him at all times. Like we said, dark stuff.From: Fables (1872) -- source link
