Lay Eggs

Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or eggs:

“We heard of all your gain when you had gone,
And talked about it when the meal lay done....”

“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)
