Figs (Fruits) by D.H. Lawrence — Read

The proper way to eat a fig, in society, / Is to split it in four, holding it by the stump, / And open it, so that it is a glittering, rosy, moist, honied, / heavy-petalled four-petalled flower.

Then you throw away the skin / Which is just like a four-sepalled calyx, / After you have taken off the blossom with your lips.
