Wild Olive

Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or olive:

“... if we have a dollar to spend on some wild excess, we shall spend it on a book, not on asparagus out of season.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

“Even when seen from near, the olive shows
A hue of far away. Perhaps for this
The dove brought olive back, a tree which grows
Unearthly pale, which ever dims and dries,
And whose great thirst, exceeding all excess,
Teaches the South it is not paradise.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
