In The Garden Quotes

“He jumps up another wall. He is in her garden now. A look around her garden and he walks at a leisuredly pace like a dignified noble even though his heart runs like the wild running of a bull .”
― Mukta Singh-Zocchi, The Thugs & a Courtesan

“There is something fragrant to touch at every turn; scented geranium leaves to rub or pots of thyme to tear at. Such temptations would be spotted at any time of year but today, in this scorching sunshine, everything is heightened; the intensity of rose oil from the pelargonium leaves, lemon from the thyme and even the peppermint and pepper and notes of potted basil sing loud and true in the bright sunlight. Butterflies-- pale-blue hoppers, cabbage whites and even red admirals- head from bloom to bloom, one even coming to see what is on my plate.”
― Nigel Slater, A Thousand Feasts: Small Moments of Joy… A Memoir of Sorts
