Treaty Of Paris By John Jay Quotes & Sayings

Peaches and Cheese:
The vagabond sun winks down through the trees,
While lilacs, like memories, waft on the breeze,

To inhale perfume,
And cut through the gloom,
And feast like a king upon peaches and cheese!

What I leave behind,
Though I hope to find,
My own golden city of peaches and cheese! — Rachel Hartman
