Vegetable Lamb

Famous quotes containing the words vegetable and/or lamb:

    To stand on common ground
    here and there gritty with pebbles
    yet elsewhere ‘fine and mellow—
    uncommon fine for ploughing’
    there to labor
    planting the vegetable words
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    A poor relation is the most irrelevant thing in nature, a piece of impertinent correspondency, an odious approximation, a haunting conscience, a preposterous shadow, lengthening in the noon-tide of our prosperity.... He is known by his knock.
    —Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
