Drinking Mate

Famous quotes containing the words drinking and/or mate:

    A little learning is a dang’rous thing;
    Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
    There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
    And drinking largely sobers us again.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    So slowly the hot elephant hearts
    grow full of desire,
    and the great beasts mate in secret at last,
    hiding their fire.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
