Grafts

Famous quotes containing the word grafts:

    And yet these Rarities might be allow’d,
    To Man, that sov’raign thing and proud;
    Had he not dealt between the Bark and Tree,
    Forbidden mixtures there to see.
    No Plant now knew the Stock from which it came;
    He grafts upon the Wild the Tame:
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    The most deadly fruit is borne by the hatred which one grafts on an extinguished friendship.
    Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729–1881)
