Fruits

Famous quotes containing the word fruits:

“It is true, there are the innocent pleasures of country life, and it is sometimes pleasant to make the earth yield her increase, and gather the fruits in their season; but the heroic spirit will not fail to dream of remoter retirements and more rugged paths. It will have its garden-plots and its parterres elsewhere than on the earth, and gather nuts and berries by the way for its subsistence, or orchard fruits with such heedlessness as berries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“My days are in the yellow leaf;
The flowers and fruits of Love are gone;
The worm—the canker, and the grief
Are mine alone!”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“Their fruits like honey to the throat
But poison in the blood”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
