Blossom Fell

Famous quotes containing the words blossom and/or fell:

    I feel like a white granular mass of amorphous crystals—my formula appears to be isomeric with Spasmotoxin. My aurochloride precipitates into beautiful prismatic needles. My Platinochloride develops octohedron crystals,—with a fine blue florescence. My physiological action is not indifferent. One millionth of a grain injected under the skin of a frog produced instantaneous death accompanied by an orange blossom odor.
    Lafcadio Hearn (1850–1904)

    The pious ones of Plymouth who, reaching the Rock, first fell upon their own knees and then upon the aborigines.
    William M. Evarts (1818–1901)
