—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“And early in the morning he came walking toward them on the sea.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 14:25.
“I can no more think of my own life without thinking of wine and wines and where they grew for me and why I drank them when I did and why I picked the grapes and where I opened the oldest procurable bottles, and all that, than I can remember living before I breathed.”
