Orange Whips

Famous quotes containing the words orange and/or whips:

    He hangs in shades the orange bright,
    Like golden lamps in a green night,
    And does in the pomegranates close
    Jewels more rich than Ormus shows;
    He makes the figs our mouths to meet,
    And throws the melons at our feet;
    But apples plants of such a price
    No tree could ever bear them twice.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    Wind rushes
    over the dunes,
    and the coarse, salt-crusted grass
    answers.
    Heu,
    it whips round my ankles!
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
