Answer:

In the stanzas containing the famous phrase 'of mice and men' Robert Burns, the poet, compares a rat's ability to live in the present to the human's inability.

Explanation:

Robert Burns is one of the defining figures of Romantic thought. <u>this poem compares the state of bliss that animals live in to the unnatural life a human leads</u> due to their excessive thinking and the woes of modern life.

this is evident in the last 2 stanzas of the poem 'to a mouse' when Burns first calls the mouse 'no thy-lane<u>'</u> and then <u>calls it more fortunate because it can blissfully live in the present</u> while<u> a human is doomed to worry about the future and keep thinking about the past.</u>
