Tongue/physiology

Famous quotes containing the words tongue and/or physiology:

    “I mind how once we lay such a transparent summer morning,
    How you settled your head athwart my hips and gently turn’d over
    upon me,
    And parted the shirt from my bosom-bone, and plunged your tongue to my bare-stript heart,
    And reach’d till you felt my beard, and reach’d till you held my
    feet.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “The world moves, but we seem to move with it. When I studied physiology before ... there were two hundred and eight bones in the body. Now there are two hundred and thirty- eight.”
    —Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
