The Duchess of Malfi's Apricots and Other Literary Fruits Hardcover - 2002
by Robert Palter
First line
To contrast with the fine tribute to apples by Plutarch (b. before 50; d. after 120 C.E.), another Greek text, perhaps half a millennium earlier, may be quoted from an even more prestigious source-if it is indeed by Plato (ca. 429-327 B.C.E.), as the (doubtful) traditional attribution would have it: I am an apple [malon] tossed by one who loves you.
