Orient quotes

See how the Orient dew, Shed from the bosom of the morn Into the blowing roses, Yet careless of its mansion new; For the clear region where 'twas born Round in its self encloses: And in its little globes extent, Frames as it can its native element.

- Andrew Marvell
c.1650^1652  'On a Drop of Dew' (published1681).

Thetrouble isthat we drink toomuchtea.I see inthisthe slow revenge of the Orient, which has diverted the Yellow River down our throats.
