Blue Hens

Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or hens:

“I have just come down from my father.
Higher and higher he lies
Above me in a blue light
Shed by a tinted window.”

“I think of no news to tell you. It is a serene summer day here, all above the snow. The hens steal their nests, and I steal their eggs still, as formerly. This is what I do with the hands. Ah, labor,—it is a divine institution, and conversation with many men and hens.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
