Interestingly, at the end are some amusing prose epigrams of
‘The Poets Compared To Fruits’
Pope - A Lemon, tart and cynical.
Byron - The Grape, the most picturesque of all the fruits, but converted by the fermentation of his brain into a delicious and intoxicating liquor.
Milton - The Apple - of his own ‘Paradise’.
Darwin - The Melon, A pompous looking fruit, imposing to the eye, but insipid to the taste.
Burns - A Wild Strawberry, wonderful when we consider what barren soil gave birth to it.
Spencer - A Nut, an excellent crunch when one has cracked the shell of the allegory.
Shakespeare - The Pineapple, somewhat rough to the touch from the rust of antiquity, but the most excellent of all fruits at the core.
& others...
Unusual.
