Oh! what waves of crime and bloodshed have swept like the waves of a deluge down the valley of the Rhine! War has laid his mailed hand on those desolate towers and ruthlessly torn down what time has spared, yet he could not mar the beauty of the shore, nor could Time himself hurl down the mountains that guard it. Bayard Taylor

War Time Crime Beauty Mountains Down Desolate Guard Waves Valley Those Torn Hurl Could He Deluge Towers Like Himself His Nor Hand Bloodshed Shore Oh Laid Spared Swept Mar

The native Jewish families in Jerusalem, as well as those in other parts of Palestine, present a marked difference to the Jews of Europe and America. They possess the same physical characteristics - the dark, oblong eye, the prominent nose, the strongly-marked cheek and jaw - but in the latter, these traits have become harsh and coarse. Bayard Taylor

Dark Become Other Jews Marked Possess Harsh Those Latter Characteristics Prominent Eye Physical Cheek Well Parts Families America Same Traits Difference Native Nose Jaw Coarse Europe Jerusalem Palestine Present Jewish

As I toiled up the Mount of Olives, in the very footsteps of Christ, panting with the heat and the difficult ascent, I found it utterly impossible to conceive that the Deity, in human form, had walked there before me. Bayard Taylor

I cannot assume emotions I do not feel, and must describe Jerusalem as I found it. Since being here, I have read the accounts of several travellers, and in many cases the devotional rhapsodies - the ecstacies of awe and reverence - in which they indulge, strike me as forced and affected. Bayard Taylor

Me Emotions Assume Strike Several Must Cases Feel Since Indulge Forced Devotional Read Reverence Affected Accounts Being Cannot Which Many Describe Found Travellers Awe Jerusalem Here

The history of Germany is not the history of a nation, but of a race. It has little unity, therefore; it is complicated, broken, and attached on all sides to the histories of other countries. Bayard Taylor

Broken History Complicated Nation Unity Other Other Countries Sides Attached Countries Histories Germany The History Of Little Race Therefore

Protein bars, protein flapjacks, protein granola, protein ice cream and protein coconut water... To look at the health-food aisles, you'd think that protein was a substance no one could overeat. Even bread now comes in protein-enriched form. Bee Wilson

I like quinoa. I like gingerbread. I feel they should be kept separate. I'm not in favor of this thing of making kind of raw, vegan chocolate cake and saying it's as good as chocolate cake. I mean, just eat cake and be done with it. And then have a separate meal of quinoa. Bee Wilson

In the right circumstances, I'm a big fan of eating alone. Often, on a Sunday evening, I go to a yoga class whose charm is largely that it gives me an alibi to avoid cooking family supper for once. I return to have boiled eggs and soldiers in silence with a book. Bliss. Bee Wilson

Alone Family Me Silence Class Cooking Book Sunday Big Alibi Once Soldiers Circumstances Eating Charm Gives Supper Return Bliss Go Big Fan Yoga Eggs Often Fan Avoid Evening Whose Largely Right

When we consume vastly more protein than we need, our kidneys struggle to process it, resulting in protein in the urine. Too much protein from meat may also contribute to kidney stones. Bee Wilson

Struggle Too Much Too Our Kidney More Resulting Vastly Consume Also Protein Than Contribute Stones May Process Much Meat Need

The more people get advised to eat vegetables, the less it seems they wish to eat them. And it is quite a natural response. So I've said that the main way that we get to like food is through being exposed to them, but there's a second condition. We have to be exposed to them without feeling any sense of coercion. Bee Wilson

Food Natural People Vegetables Feeling Wish Sense Way Response Eat Seems More More People Through Main Like Advised Without Said Condition Get Any Quite Being Them Less Exposed Coercion Second

One thing I always make - and I'm sure this is partly to do with memory and yearning and because I've made it ever since my children were born - I make gingerbread every year. And it's partly just the perfume of the spices in the house, makes it smell like winter to me. Bee Wilson

Me Winter Memory Spices Made Smell Year Every One Thing Born Since Like Perfume House Make Partly Sure Because Makes Always Were Yearning Just Children Ever Thing

The main influence on a child's palate may no longer be a parent but a series of food manufacturers whose products - despite their illusion of infinite choice - deliver a monotonous flavour hit, quite unlike the more varied flavours of traditional cuisine. Bee Wilson

Food Illusion Monotonous Despite Unlike Parent Varied More Deliver Main Longer Cuisine Traditional Hit Child Infinite Quite May Influence Choice Products Manufacturers Series Whose Palate

The danger of growing up surrounded by endless sweet and salty industrial concoctions is not that we are innately incapable of resisting them but that the more frequently we eat them, especially in childhood, the more they train us to expect all food to taste this way. Bee Wilson

Food Sweet Way Danger Eat More Industrial Frequently Surrounded Up Train Salty Expect Taste Endless Childhood Them Us Incapable Growing Growing Up Innately Resisting

One of the rudest things you can do, food-wise, is to stare at someone in the act of eating. It draws attention to the unseemly fact that eating is a bodily function - like animals, we are trapped by our hungers, but we do our best to disguise them with such civilized props as menus and forks. Bee Wilson

When someone watches us eating, we feel exposed. We might also harbor a suspicion that the person staring wants to steal food from our plate. The taboo, in any case, is long-standing. Bee Wilson

One of the strange things about imaginary food is that it allows us to take pleasure in reading about things that we would never want to eat in real life. Bee Wilson

Life Food Strange Reading Real Life Pleasure Would Eat About Take Never Real Want Us Strange Things Things Imaginary
