Grapes

Famous quotes containing the word grapes:

    You cannot eat a cluster of grapes at once, but it is very easy if you eat them one by one.
    Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

    We’ve cracked the hemispheres with careless hand!
    Now, from the Gates of Hercules we flood

    Westward, westward till the barbarous brine
    Whelms us to the tired world where tasseling corn,
    Fat beans, grapes sweeter than muscadine
    Rot on the vine: in the land were we born.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The silent vertebrate in brown
    Contracts and concentrates, withdraws;
    Rachel née Rabinovitch
    Tears at the grapes with murderous paws.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
