Plump

Famous quotes containing the word plump:

    the plump of my belly, the
    hollow of your
    groin, as a constellation,
    how it leans from earth to
    dawn in a gesture of
    play....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Hail, hail, plump paunch, O the founder of taste
    For fresh meats, or powdered, or pickle, or paste;
    Devourer of broiled, baked, roasted or sod,
    And emptier of cups, be they even or odd;
    All which have now made thee so wide i’ the waist
    As scarce with no pudding thou art to be laced;
    But eating and drinking until thou dost nod,
    Thou break’st all thy girdles, and break’st forth a god.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    But my greatest delight is to take a good bite
    At a calf that is plump and delicious;
    And if I indulge in a bite at a bulge,
    Let’s hope you won’t think me too vicious.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
