Giant Peach

Famous quotes containing the words giant and/or peach:

    “The giant was hairy, the giant was horrid,
    He had one eye in the middle of his forehead.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    “I askèd a thief to steal me a peach
    He turned up his eyes
    I ask’d a lithe lady to lie her down
    Holy & meek she cries—

    As soon as I went
    An angel came.
    He wink’d at the thief
    And smild at the dame—

    And without one word said
    Had a peach from the tree
    And still as a maid
    Enjoy’d the lady.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)
