Famous quotes containing the word swallow:

    “To dine!” she shrieked in dragon-wrath.
    “To swallow wines all foam and froth!
    To simper at a table-cloth!”
    Say, can thy noble spirit stoop
    To join the gormandising troop
    Who find solace in the soup?
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
