Sweet Vitriol

Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or vitriol:

    Not on morality, but on cookery, let us build our stronghold: there brandishing our frying-pan, as censer, let us offer sweet incense to the Devil, and live at ease on the fat things he has provided for his elect!
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    Apples? New Hampshire has them, but unsprayed,
    With no suspicion in stem end or blossom end
    Of vitriol or arsenate of lead,
    And so not good for anything but cider.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
