Famous quotes containing the words troyan, plum and/or brandy:
“The moon shines bright. In such a night as this,
When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees,
And they did make no noise, in such a night
Troilus methinks mounted the Troyan walls,
And sighed his soul toward the Grecian tents,
Where Cressid lay that night.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Shall it be male or female? say the cells,
And drop the plum like fire from the flesh.”

“Like an old brandy after a long rain,
Distinguished, and familiar, and aloof.”
