Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or grape:

    “But we still remember ... above all, the cool, free aspect of the wild apple trees, generously proffering their fruit to us, though still green and crude,—the hard, round, glossy fruit, which, if not ripe, still was not poison, but New English too, brought hither, its ancestors, by ours once. These gentler trees imparted a half-civilized and twilight aspect to the otherwise barbarian land.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Black girl black girl
    lips as curved as cherries
    full as grape bunches
    sweet as blackberries”
    —Dudley Randall (b. 1914)
