Nathaniel Hawthorne
“Would not the earth, quickened to an evil purpose by the sympathy of his eye, greet him with poisonous shrubs... Would he not suddenly sink into the earth, leaving a barren and blasted spot, where, in due course of time, would be seen deadly nightshade, dogwood, henbane, and whatever else of vegetable wickedness the climate could produce, all flourishing with hideous luxuriance?”
― Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter

“He was not merely a plant; he was a living masterpiece of holiday botanical grandeur, an elevated arboreal monarch presiding over his winter court. He was entirely unprepared for his subjects' staggering incompetence.”
― Belinda Kelderhouse, Christmas Avenue: A Cornucopia of Christmas Tales
