Mandrake

Famous quotes containing the word mandrake:

    “Go, and catch a falling star,
    Get with child a mandrake root,
    Tell me, where all past years are,
    Or who cleft the devil’s foot,
    Teach me to her mermaids singing,
    Or to keep off envy’s stinging,
    And find
    What wind
    Serves to advance an honest mind.”
    —John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
