Famous quotes containing the words plum and/or island:

    “An April Sunday brings the snow
    Making the blossom on the plum trees green,
    Not white. An hour or two, and it will go.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
