The natural term of an apple-pie is but twelve hours. It reaches its highest state about one hour after it comes from the oven, and just before its natural heat has quite departed. But every hour afterwards is a declension. And after it is one day old, it is thence-forward but the ghastly corpse of apple-pie.~ Henry Ward Beecher
