Famous quotes containing the words peach and/or wears:
“I askèd a thief to steal me a peach
He turned up his eyes
I ask’d a lithe lady to lie her down
Holy & meek she cries—
As soon as I went
An angel came.
He wink’d at the thief
And smild at the dame—
And without one word said
Had a peach from the tree
And still as a maid
Enjoy’d the lady.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“Life is a festival only to the wise. Seen from the nook and chimneyside of prudence, it wears a ragged and dangerous front.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
