Sweet Vitriol

Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or vitriol:

    “The moon shines bright. In such a night as this,
    When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees,
    And they did make no noise, in such a night
    Troilus methinks mounted the Troyan walls,
    And sighed his soul toward the Grecian tents,
    Where Cressid lay that night.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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)
