Northern Blue Jay

Famous quotes containing the words northern, blue and/or jay:

    Warmest climes but nurse the cruelest fangs: the tiger of Bengal crouches in spiced groves of ceaseless verdure. Skies the most effulgent but basket the deadliest thunders: gorgeous Cuba knows tornadoes that never swept tame northern lands.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Dear Friend,
    the canebrakes
    nestled in the riverbank’s lap,
    their clusters broken
    from the weight of blue bees,
    have in time
    become stumps.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    England still will be here without you.
    —Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
