Baby Taylor

Famous quotes containing the words baby and/or taylor:

    Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.
    Mary Arrigo (20th century)

    Where the Moosatockmaguntic
    Pours its waters in the Skuntic,
    Met, along the forest side
    Hiram Hover, Huldah Hyde.
    She, a maiden fair and dapper,
    He, a red-haired, stalwart trapper,
    Hunting beaver, mink, and skunk
    In the woodlands of Squeedunk.
    —Bayard Taylor (1825–1878)
