Onion Skins

Famous quotes containing the words onion and/or skins:

    Three meals of thin gruel a day, with an onion twice a week, and half a roll on Saturdays.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    What were our praise to them? They eat
    Quiet’s wild heart, like daily meat;
    Who when night thickens are afloat
    On dappled skins in a glass boat,
    Far out under a windless sky;
    While over them birds of Aengus fly....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
