A poem by Robert Burns, "To a Mouse."
"But Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!"
(Scottish)
(Translated to English)
"But Mouse, you are not alone,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Go often askew,
And leaves us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!"
Verse 7 is what inspired him.
John Steinbeck was influenced by the people he met during his time working as a manual laborer, observing the struggles and dreams of migrant workers in California during the Great Depression. He also drew inspiration from his own experiences and social concerns, combining them in crafting the story of George and Lennie in "Of Mice and Men."
