Miss Killmansegg And Her Precious Leg. A Legend

Thomas Hood 1799 (London) – 1845 (London)



“Who hath not felt that breath in the air,
A perfume and freshness strange and rare,
A warmth in the light, and a bliss everywhere,
When young hearts yearn together?
All sweets below, and all sunny above,
Oh! there's nothing in life like making love,
Save making hay in fine weather!”
