Sour Green Apple

Famous quotes containing the words sour, green and/or apple:

    Do I terrify?—

    The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth?
    The sour breath
    Will vanish in a day.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    The gentle serpent, green in the mulberry bush,
    Riots with his tongue through the hush—
    Sentinel of the grave who counts us all!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    A man may build a complicated piece of mechanism, or pilot a steamboat, but not more than five out of ten know how the apple got into the dumpling.
