Lay Eggs

Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or eggs:

“Letters are like wine; if they are sound they ripen with keeping. A man should lay down letters as he does a cellar of wine.”

“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)
