Pineapple/cultivation

Famous quotes containing the words pineapple and/or cultivation:

    By metaphor you paint
    A thing. Thus, the pineapple was a leather fruit,
    A fruit for pewter, thorned and palmed and blue,
    To be served by men of ice.

    Any writer, I suppose, feels that the world into which he was born is nothing less than a conspiracy against the cultivation of his talent.
