Famous quotes containing the word jay:

    Ask every person if he’s heard the story,
    And tell it strong and clear if he has not,
    That once there was a fleeting wisp of glory
    Called Camelot ...
    Don’t let it be forgot
    That once there was a spot
    For one brief shining moment that was known
    As Camelot.
    —Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
