Every #Christmas, he enjoyed his #Favorite #Apple, Orléans Reinette, with a glass of #Port.

He is #Remembered for his #Landmark #Book, The #Anatomy of #Dessert, in which he wrote,

It is the duty of an apple to be #Crisp + #Crunchable, but a #Pear should have such a
#Texture as leads to #Silent #Consumption."

#OTD #George #Eliot,#English #Victorian #Author, is born.

Eliot wrote,

I wish the #Sky would #Rain down #Roses...
Why will it not?

Then all the valleys would be #Pink and white,
& #soft to tread on.

Eliot loved the idea of #Raining roses but knew it was only a #Dream.

She wrote,

It never #Rains roses.

When we want more roses, we must #Plant more...

My #Favorite quotes from Eliot are about her #Love of #Roses.

She wrote:

"I think am quite #Wicked with roses.
I like to #Gather them and #Smell them till they have no #Scent left."
