Incense Seal Clocks

Famous quotes containing the words incense, seal and/or clocks:

    Here the sausage and garlic booth
    Sent unholy incense skyward;
    There a quivering female-thing
    Gestured assignations, and lied
    To call it dancing;
    Anne Spencer (1882–1975)

    Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
    —Bible: Hebrew Song of Solomon, 8:6.

    It was a bright, cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)
