Peach Orchard Road

Famous quotes containing the words peach, orchard and/or road:

    “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)

    “... transform
    into our flesh our
    deaths, crossing the street, plum, quince,
    living in the orchard and being
    hungry, and plucking
    the fruit.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “[T]he temple through which alone lies the road to that of Liberty.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)
