Famous quotes containing the words mandrake and/or falls:
“Go, and catch a falling star,
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me, where all past years are,
Or who cleft the devil’s foot,
Teach me to her mermaids singing,
Or to keep off envy’s stinging,
And find
What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

Each drop she falls would prove a crocodile.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
