Famous quotes containing the word ripe:
“Jesus said, “When he looketh on her, he hath committed adultery.” But he is an adulterer before he has yet looked on the woman, by the superfluity of animal, and the defect of thought, in his constitution. Who meets him, or who meets her, in the street, sees that they are ripe to be each other’s victim.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The beach was crowded,
people tossed like ripe corn,
buttering themselves as they went
and on the dunes thousands of crabs,
moved their yellow eyes.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“These ripe pears
are bitter to the taste,
this spiced wine, poison, corrupt.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
