Thou art a female, Katydid! I know it by the trill That quivers through thy piercing notes So petulant and shrill. I think there is a knot of you Beneath the hollow tree, A knot of spinster Katydids,-- Do Katydids drink tea? (Quote by - Oliver Wendell Holmes)

Where the katydid works her chromatic reed on the walnut-tree over the well. (Quote by - Walt Whitman)
