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."

#George #Eliot, the 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,
And 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...

#George #Eliot, the English #Victorian author, is born.
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."
