Famous quotes containing the words nest and/or eggs:

    Under that wide hearth
    a nest of rattlers,
    they’ll knot a hundred together,
    had wintered and were coming awake.
    The warming rock
    flushed them out early.
    Robert Morgan (b. 1944)

    The common cormorant or shag
    Lays eggs inside a paper bag.
    Christopher Isherwood (1904–1986)
