Lay Eggs

Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or eggs:

“An old man, broken with the storms of state,
Is come to lay his weary bones among ye:
Give him a little earth for charity.”

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)
