Herbs and Apples is a collection of short poetry by Helen Hay Whitney. Whitney was an American poet, writer and philanthropist. Excerpt:
"She is the youngest of the dead,
And so the great lean round her feet;
They strive to learn from her fair head
Why far-forgotten life was sweet.
For now she knows what Plato knows,
And lapped in languor she agrees
With Kant, and as her soft hair blows,
Smiling, she flouts Demosthenes."
