No, Mr. Sandburg
The fog doesn’t come on little cat feet
It stinks and slinks across the fields
Maybe Grendel creeps within it -
He wants to eat us before dawn

As a farm boy I found that the bit about fog creeping on little cat feet did not match how I experienced the fog rising across the fields at dusk.
