The title of the novel is taken from Robert Burns’ poem “To a Mouse.” The poem deals with a plowman’s accidental destruction of a mouse’s nest shortly before the onset of winter. Burns summarizes the predicament of the homeless animal in the lines: “The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men / Gang aft agley.”
Translation: The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray...leaving us grief and pain instead of promised joy.
