• O, the mulberry-tree is of trees the queen!
  Bare long after the rest are green;
  But as the time steals onwards, while none perceives
  Slowly she clothes herself with leaves--
  Hides her fruit under them, hard to find.
  . . . .
  But by and by, when the flowers grow few
  And the fruits are dwindling and small to view--
  Out she comes in her matron grace
  With the purple myriads of her race;
  Full of plenty from root to crown,
  Showering plenty her feet adown.
  While far over head hang gorgeously
  Large luscious berries of sanguine dye,
  For the best grows highest, always highest,
  Upon the mulberry-tree.

  Dinah Maria Murlock Craik

• Capture of Nanking Rain and a windstorm rage blue and yellow over Chung the bell mountain as a million peerless troops cross the Great River. The peak is a coiled dragon, the city a crouching tiger more dazzling than before. The sky is spinning and the earth upside down. We are elated yet we must use our courage to chase the hopeless enemy. We must not stoop to fame like the overlord Hsiang Yu. If heaven has feeling it will grow old and watch our seas turn into mulberry fields.

  Mao Zedong

• The old images seem like a caricature now: the shadowy world of secret rituals, the aging dons behind high-walled estates, the passion for vengeance and power over other men. For years, the Mafia was the stuff of novels and movies and whispers on Mulberry Street.

• The sun, a red wheel, was sinking slowly in the west. Besides being spectacularly beautiful, the early-summer sunset was exceedingly soft and gentle: black mulberry leaves turned as red as roses; pristine white acacia petals shed an enshrouding pale-green aura. Mild evening breezes made both the mulberry leaves and the acacia petals dance and whirl, filling the woods with a soft rustle.
