Famous quotes containing the words chickens, coming and/or home:
“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.””

“And you teetered on the edge of this
Calm street with its sidewalks, its traffic,
As though they are coming to get you.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“As for pictures and museums, that don’t trouble me. The worst of going abroad is that you’ve always got to look at things of that sort. To have to do it at home would be beyond a joke.”
