Famous quotes containing the word peach:

    “Nature, doubtless, has some compelling cause
    To glut the carriers of her epidemics—
    Nor did the peach complain.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “I askèd a thief to steal me a peach
    He turned up his eyes
    I ask’d a lithe lady to lie her down
    Holy & meek she cries—

    As soon as I went
    An angel came.
    He wink’d at the thief
    And smild at the dame—

    And without one word said
    Had a peach from the tree
    And still as a maid
    Enjoy’d the lady.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “The dog-wood breaks white
    The pear-tree has caught
    The apple is a red blaze
    The peach has already withered its own leaves
    The wild plum-tree is alight.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
