Grapes Frozen

Famous quotes containing the words grapes and/or frozen:

    “Now, from the Gates of Hercules we flood
    Westward, westward till the barbarous brine
    Whelms us to the tired land where tasseling corn,
    Fat beans, grapes sweeter than muscadine
    Rot on the vine: in that land were we born.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “And if joy were not on the earth,
    There were an end of change and birth,
    And Earth and Heaven and Hell would die,
    And in some gloomy barrow lie
    Folded like a frozen fly....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
