• El amor es algo maravilloso. Es más precioso que las esmeraldas, y más caro que los ópalos finos. Las perlas y las granadas no pueden comprarlo, ni se expone en el mercado. No puede comprarse a los mercaderes, ni puede pesarse en la balanza por oro.

• ¿De dónde procede el nombre de manzana de Adán? La mayoría de la gente dice que se debe a la idea de que el fruto prohibido se atascó en la garganta de Adán en el Jardín del Edén. Hay un problema con esta teoría porque algunos eruditos hebreos creen que la fruta prohibida era la granada. El Corán afirma que la fruta prohibida era un plátano. Así que elijan: la manzana de Adán, la granada de Adán o el plátano de Adán. Eva claramente masticó antes de tragar.

• Mi corazón es como un pájaro cantor cuyo nido está en un brote de agua; Mi corazón es como un manzano cuyas ramas están curvadas con gruesos frutos; Mi corazón es como una concha de arco iris que rema en un mar de luna; Mi corazón está más contento que todos estos, porque mi amor ha venido a mí. Levántame un daïs de seda y plumón; Cuélgalo con vair y tintes púrpuras; Tállalo en palomas y granadas, Y pavos reales con cien ojos; Trabajalo en uvas de oro y plata, En hojas y flores de lis de plata; Porque el cumpleaños de mi vida Ha llegado, mi amor ha llegado a mí.

• Close to the Gates a spacious Garden lies, From the Storms defended and inclement Skies; Four Acres was the allotted Space of Ground, Fenc'd with a green Enclosure all around. Tall thriving Trees confessed the fruitful Mold: The reddening Apple ripens here to Gold, Here the blue Fig with luscious Juice overflows, With deeper Red the full Pomegranate glows, The Branch here bends beneath the weighty Pear, And verdant Olives flourish round the Year.

  Homer

  Cuyo nido está en un brote de agua;

• The decor bowled me over. Everywhere I looked, there was something more to see. Botanical prints, a cross section of pomegranates, a passionflower vine and its fruit. Stacks of thick books on art and design and a collection of glass paperweights filled the coffee table. It was enormously beautiful, a sensibility I'd never encountered anywhere, a relaxed luxury. I could feel my mother's contemptuous gaze falling on the cluttered surfaces, but I was tired of three white flowers in a glass vase. There was more to life than that.

• I envied women with signature hair-dos, signature perfumes, signature sign-offs. Novelists who tell Vogue Magazine: “I can’t live without my Smythson notebook, Pomegranate Noir cologne by Jo Malone and Frette sheets”. In the grip of madness, materialism begins to look like an admirable belief system.

• En 1879, el erudito bengalí S.M. Tagore recopiló una lista más extensa de colores de rubí a partir de los textos sagrados Purana: como la rosa de China, como la sangre, como las semillas de la granada, como el plomo rojo, como el loto rojo, como el azafrán, como la resina de ciertos árboles, como los ojos de la perdiz griega o de la grulla india... y como el interior del nenúfar a medio secar". Con tantas magníficas posibilidades descriptivas, es curioso que en inglés los dos antiguos nombres de los rubíes hayan llegado a sonar increíblemente feos.

• Pomegranate Soup is glorious, daring and delightful.  I adored the Iranian sisters, Marjan, Bahar and Layla, who are looking to build a life, start a business and find love in a place so far from home. Ireland has never been more beautiful - the perfect setting for this story filled with humor, hope and possibility.

• Me encantaba cada segundo de la iglesia católica. Me encantaba el olor dulzón a granada podrida del incienso. Me encantaba el altar recargado, la pila de agua bendita, las velas votivas; me encantaba que hubiera una pobre caja, las estaciones del vía crucis representadas en vidrieras en las ventanas.

• Gospel ministers should not only be like dials on watches, or mile-stones upon the road, but like clocks and larums, to sound the alarm to sinners. Aaron wore bells as well as pomegranates, and the prophets were commanded to lift up their voice like a trumpet. A sleeping sentinel may be the loss of the city.

• While still sixteen I am put in charge of a class of forty children who are two, three or four years younger than I. I fall in love with them. They are my possession, my mob whose forty minds, under my flashy and domineering control, are to become one, a mind unsullied by errors, unmarked by blots, contaminated by misplaced originalities outside the curriculum, and as full of facts as a pomegranate seed.

Me removí incómoda, porque hablarle así a un dios puede hacer que te conviertas en conejitos de polvo. "Nico..." "No pasa nada", dijo Perséfone con frialdad. "Tuvimos una pequeña discusión familiar". "¿Pelea familiar?" Nico gritó. "¡Me convertiste en un diente de león!
