Winter Tomatoes

Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or tomatoes:

    So Spring comes merry towards me here, but earns
    No answering smile from me, whose life is twin’d
    With the dead boughs that winter still must bind,

    Hunger makes you restless. You dream about food—not just any food, but perfect food, the best food, magical meals, famous and awe-inspiring, the one piece of meat, the exact taste of buttery corn, tomatoes so ripe they split and sweeten the air, beans so crisp they snap between the teeth, gravy like mother’s milk singing to your bloodstream.
    Dorothy Allison (b. 1953)
