Sweet Vitriol

Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or vitriol:

    “We saw Thee in Thy balmy nest,
    Young Dawn of our Eternal Day!
    We saw Thine eyes break from the East
    And chase the trembling shades away.
    We saw Thee and we blest the sight,
    We saw Thee by Thine own sweet light.”
    —Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)

    With no suspicion in stem end or blossom end
    Of vitriol or arsenate of lead,
    And so not good for anything but cider.”
