fkamiah17, "Hares have always been thought magic. In their long-limbed, quivering beauty, they were believed to be walking, breathing love potions.
'To kiss the hare's foot' is to be late for dinner in Brewer's Dictionary: 'the hare has run away, and you are only in time to "kiss" the print of his foot.'
'The cat of the wood,' Heaney calls them: 'the stag of the cabbages'. If there is magic in this world, some part of it lies with them."from 'The Golden Mole', by Katherine Rundell
