Famous quotes containing the words fine and/or mellow:
“What art can paint or gild any object in afterlife with the glow which Nature gives to the first baubles of childhood. St. Peter’s cannot have the magical power over us that the red and gold covers of our first picture-book possessed. How the imagination cleaves to the warm glories of that tinsel even now! What entertainments make every day bright and short for the fine freshman!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The dinner-hour is the summer of the day: full of sunshine, I grant; but not like the mellow autumn of supper.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
