Plum Brook

Famous quotes containing the words plum and/or brook:

“The plum my mother picked matured slowly,
The boy she dropped from darkness at her side
Into the sided lap of light grew strong....”

“I never drank of Aganippe well,
Nor ever did in shade of Tempe sit,
And muses scorn with vulgar brains to dwell;
Poor layman I, for sacred rites unfit.
Some do I hear of poets’ fury tell,
But, God wot, wot not what they mean by it;
And this I swear by blackest brook of hell,
I am no pickpurse of another’s wit.”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
