thirst-appeasing

Updated: May 25, 2025

The south is the native place of the human race; the land of fruits, more grateful to man than the hard-earned Ceres of the north, of trees, whose boughs are as a palace-roof, of couches of roses, and of the thirst-appeasing grape. We need not there fear cold and hunger. Look at England! the grass shoots up high in the meadows; but they are dank and cold, unfit bed for us.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley - The Last Man
