Lady Jays

Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or jays:

    “A lady with soft eyes like funeral tapers,
    And face that seemed wrought out of moonlit vapours,
    And a sad mouth, that fear made tremulous
    As any ruddy moth, looked down on us;
    And she with a wave-rusted chain was tied
    To two old eagles, full of ancient pride....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “If ever there was an aviary overstocked with jays it is that Yaptown-on-the-Hudson, called New York.”
