Famous quotes containing the words house and/or pomegranates:
“Who can speak broader than he that has no house to put his head in? Such may rail against great buildings.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“He hangs in shades the orange bright,
Like golden lamps in a green night,
And does in the pomegranates close
Jewels more rich than Ormus shows;
He makes the figs our mouths to meet,
And throws the melons at our feet;
But apples plants of such a price
No tree could ever bear them twice.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
