“O, blackberry tart, with berries as
big as your thumb, purple and black, and
thick with juice, and a crust to endear
them that will go to cream in your mouth,
and both passing down with such a taste
that will make you close your eyes and
wish you might live for ever in the
wideness of that rich moment.”
