Male Eggs

Famous quotes containing the words male and/or eggs:

“The cool kindliness of sheets, that soon
Smooth away trouble; and the rough male kiss
Of blankets.”
—Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)

“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)
