Woman Peeling Apples

Famous quotes containing the words woman, peeling and/or apples:

    Are we not also married to conscience which we would love to get rid of often enough since it is more bothersome than a man or a woman ever could become?
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    It’s peeling now, age has got it,
    a kind of cancer of the background
    and also in the assorted features.
    It’s like a rotten flag
    or a vegetable from the refrigerator,
    pocked with mold.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    He hangs in shades the orange bright,
    Like golden lamps in a green night,
    And does in the pomegranates close
    Jewels more rich than Ormus shows;
    He makes the figs our mouths to meet,
    And throws the melons at our feet;
    But apples plants of such a price
    No tree could ever bear them twice.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
