Sorry, can't give any background as am doing this for a friend - but I
do have the next two lines:
"And the owlet hoots from hollow stump
   And the dormouse makes its bed"

I'm wondering whether this is quite your field, as nearly all your 
answers are in other categories - but many thanks for your efforts so far!

I doubt that quotations are any one person's field, since there is
such a variety of questions on Google Answers.  However, if you're
curious, you can browse through several of the results below to check
my background on this type of question:

http://answers.google.com/answers/search?q=%22answered+by+justaskscott%22+quotation&qtype=answered&num=10&sort=qestartts%3AD%3AR%3Ad1

http://answers.google.com/answers/search?q=%22answered+by+justaskscott%22+quote+-quotation&qtype=answered&num=10&sort=qestartts%3AD%3AR%3Ad1

(Not all of these results relate to quotations, since the word "quote"
or "quotation" can appear in other contexts.)
