Famous quotes containing the words sparkling and/or wines:

    O born in days when wits were fresh and clear,
    And life ran gaily as the sparkling Thames;
    Before this strange disease of modern life,
    With its sick hurry, its divided aims,
    Its head o’ertaxed, its palsied hearts, was rife—
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
