Chickens

Famous quotes containing the word chickens:

    Life is crazy. Now, maybe you knew this all along. But before I had children, I actually held on to the illusion that there was some sense of order to the universe.... I am now convinced that we are all living in a Chagall painting—a world where brides and grooms and cows and chickens and angels and sneakers are all mixed up together, sometimes floating in the air, sometimes upside down and everywhere.
    Susan Lapinski (20th century)

    All praise of the hawk on fire in hawk-eyed dusk be sung,
    When his viperish fuse hangs looped with flames under the brand
    Wing, and blest shall
    Young
    Green chickens of the bay and bushes cluck, “dilly dilly,
    Come let us die.”
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Did you say all? O hell-kite! All?
    What, all my pretty chickens and their dam
    At one fell swoop?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
