Fruit Jar Drinkers

Famous quotes containing the words fruit and/or jar:

    At first,
    our bodies were as one.
    Then
    you were unloving,
    but I still played the wretched favorite.
    Now
    you’re the master
    and we’re the wife.
    What’s next?
    This is the fruit I reap
    from my diamond-hard life.
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    Drink your fill when the jar is first opened, and when it is nearly done, but be sparing when it is half-empty; it’s a poor saving when you come to the dregs.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
