“The smell of that buttered toast simply spoke to Toad, & with no uncertain voice; talked of warm kitchens, of breakfasts on bright frosty mornings, of cozy parlour firesides ... of the purring of contented cats, & the twitter of sleepy canaries.” - Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

The Winter Pear

Is always Age severe?
Is never Youth austere?
Spring-fruits are sour to eat;
Autumn’s the mellow time.
Nay, very late in the year,
Short day and frosty rime,
Thought, like a winter pear,
Stone-cold in summer’s prime,
May turn from harsh to sweet.

-William Allingham (1824-1889), Poem in the Public Domain

“Give me but a bit to eat,
And an hour or two,
Just a salad and a sweet,
And a chat with you.
Give me table full or bare,
Crust or rich ragout;
But whatever be the fare,
Always give me you.”

-ARTHUR MACY (1842-1904) (poem in public domain)
