Oak Apples

Famous quotes containing the words oak and/or apples:

    “Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “There was a young lady of Ryde
    Who swallowed some apples and died.
    The apples fermented
    Inside the lamented
    And made cider inside her inside.”
    —Anonymous.
