“The palm is a plant of the fancy; an enchanted fairy child, snatched from the dream of a god; its shaft rises straight and wonderful, whilst the pleasing and soft undulations of its leaves are an alluring dance of the Graces.”
Maximilian I of Mexico (1832–1867) said by 1867 at the latest wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
