- It is for this reason that this fruit has been looked upon as a symbol consecrated to marriage, its offspring being thus protected in such manifold ways: an explanation which bears a much greater air of probability than that which would derive it from the rattling which it makes when it bounds from the floor. ― translation from: J. Bostock and H.T. Riley, The Natural History (1855), bk XV, ch. xxiv (xxii)
