Sweet Almonds

Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or almonds:

“The world, unfathomably fair,
Is duller than a witling’s jest.
Love wakes men, once a lifetime each;
They lift their heavy lids, and look;
And, lo, what one sweet page can teach,
They read with joy, then shut the book.”
—Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore (1823–1896)

“One would give plenty of almonds if one had eyes to see the beauty of a receiving hand.”
