Famous quotes containing the word grapes:
“We’ve cracked the hemispheres with careless hand!
Now, from the Gates of Hercules we flood
Westward, westward till the barbarous brine
Whelms us to the tired world where tasseling corn,
Fat beans, grapes sweeter than muscadine
Rot on the vine: in the land were we born.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“A real fox calls sour not only those grapes that he cannot reach but also those that he has reached and taken away from others.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are
stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword;”
—Julia Ward Howe (1819–1910)
