The bitter apple and the bite in the apple.

'And the ragged rock in the restless waters,
Waves wash over it, fogs conceal it;
On a halcyon day it is merely a monument,
In navigable weather it is always a seamark
To lay a course by: but in the sombre season
Or the sudden fury, is what it always was.'
- T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets, The Dry Salvages (lines 118-23)
