    Now burgeons every maze of quick
    About the flowering squares, and thick
    By ashen roots the violets blow.”

    “I tell people all the time, you have to be in love with that pot. You have to put all your love in that pot. If you’re in a hurry, just eat your sandwich and go. Don’t even start cooking, because you can’t do anything well in a hurry. I love food. I love serving people. I love satisfying people.”
    —Leah Chase (b. 1923)
