Ithaca the Fates award; and there New trials meet the Wanderer." HOMER: Od. lib. i, 16. THERE is continual spring and harvest here Continual, both meeting at one time; For both the boughs do laughing blossoms bear, And with fresh colours deck the wanton prime; And eke at once the heavy trees they climb, Which seem to labour under their fruit's load. SPENSER: The Garden of Adonis.
The fruit's all their own." This was the man whom Mercy Philbrick met early in her first summer at Penfield. She had heard him preach twice, and had been so greatly impressed by his words and by his face that she longed very much to know him. She had talked with Stephen about him, but had found that Stephen did not sympathize at all in her enthusiasm.
Leila was only too well aware of a truth that feelings are no less real, poignant, and important to those outside morality's ring fence than to those within. Her feelings were, indeed, probably even more real and poignant, just as a wild fruit's flavour is sharper than that of the tame product.
"September blow soft till the fruit's in the loft," is the prayer of all apple growers; it is pitiful to see, after a roaring gale, the ground strewn with beautiful fruit, bruised and broken, useless to keep, and only suitable for carting away to the all-devouring cider-mill, though, even for that purpose, the sweet Blenheim does not produce nearly so good a drink as sourer accredited cider varieties.
I've seen them lose their teeth because of fruit's low mineral content, high sugar level and constant fruit acids in their mouths. There's the Adelle Davis school, people eating whole grains, handfuls of vitamins, lots of dairy and brewers yeast and wheat germ, and even raw liver. Then there's the Organic school.
"You tell us what they be," responded the man, unabashed by the rebuke of the leader. "Don't you know?" retorted Jim scornfully. "Why grape fruit's the stuff that grows on grape vines." "Get out!" said the other one. "I guess I know enough about the country to know that grapes grow on grape vines."
She pulled off the saddle and bridle and turned Blue into the corral before she went slowly and somewhat reluctantly to the cabin, squat, old, and unkempt like its mistress, but buried deep in the renewed sweetness of bloom-time. "The fruit's comin' on early this year," said Marthy from the doorway, her hands on her hips. "They's goin' to be lots of it, too, if we don't git a killin' frost."
Then, when they are well mix'd, set them over a gentle Fire, and stir them all the while; and when you perceive them to be thick enough, put into them what quantity you please of Syrup, or Jamms of Apricots, Peaches, or Plums, or Cherries, or Oranges, Lemons, or other Fruits, stirring them well till they partake enough of the preserv'd Fruit's taste, and then serve them up, in China Basons, cold, in a Desert, without any Ornament of Flowers.
"More don't I, Master Tom, but I keep on laughing all the more, and can't help it. Now if he had been very badly, I don't think I could ha' done it." "My uncle is very ill, and came down here for the benefit of his health," said Tom sternly. "Then your nursing, Master Tom, and my vegetables and fruit's done him a lot o' good, for the way he walked home after being spilt did us a lot o' credit.
"I don't know anything about who you are when my show of fruit's being spoiled," replied Mr Solomon. "A mischievous boy's a boy doing mischief to me when I catch him, and I won't have him here." "Turn him out, then," cried the boy; "turn out that rough young blackguard. I came in and caught him picking and stealing, and I gave him such a one."
