Weight Loss And Juice Fasts - How Much Weight You Can Expect To Lose With This Program ... However, no matter how much information people get about how juice fasting is not for shedding off pounds, people are still going crazy about it...
Our poets have sung of wine, the product of a foreign plant which commonly they never saw, as if our own plants had no juice in them more than the singers.
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
You haven’t weighed the consequences
for your love,
nor have you any regard
for your friends.
Why are you making
such a jealous fuss now, prude,
when it’s too late?
With your own hands
You’ve brought down upon yourself
these coals,
their blazing points of flame
as bright as Doomsday Fire.
So enough now
of your crying
in the wilderness.
You’ve erased the tracery
on your cheek
by covering it with your palm.
Your sighs have kissed away
the juice of your lower lip,
tasty as nectar
and at every instant,
the tear that’s stuck in your throat
is making your sloping breasts tremble.
Unkind girl,
anger has become your lover,
not I.
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
It is not all bad, this getting old, ripening. After the fruit has got its growth it should juice up and mellow. God forbid I should live long enough to ferment and rot and fall to the ground in a squash.
—Emily Carr (1871–1945)
