Famous quotes containing the words chicken and/or dance:

    ‘Yesterday I saw God. What did he look like? Well, in the
    afternoon I climbed up a ladder—he as a cheap cabin in the
    country, like Monroe, NY the chicken farms in the wood. He was a lonely old man with a white beard.
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    God be with the times when I
    Cared not a thraneen for what chanced
    So that I had the limbs to try
    Such a dance as there was danced—
    Love is like the lion’s tooth.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
