Famous quotes containing the word eggs:

    “Nothing is so beautiful as spring—
    When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
    Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
    Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
    The ear, it strikes like lightning to hear him sing.”
    —Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    “The common cormorant or shag
    Lays eggs inside a paper bag.”
    —Christopher Isherwood (1904–1986)
