Grain Scotch Whisky

Famous quotes containing the words grain, scotch and/or whisky:

    “Have We not made the earth as a cradle
    and the mountains as pegs?
    And We created you in pairs,
    and We appointed your sleep for a rest;
    and We appointed night for a garment,
    and We appointed day for a livelihood.
    And We have built above you seven strong ones,
    and We appointed a blazing lamp
    and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading
    that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants,
    and gardens luxuriant.”
    —Qur’an, “The Tiding” 78:6-16, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)

    “In Rangoon the heat of noon
    Is just what the natives shun.
    They put their Scotch or rye down
    And lie down.”
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)

    “The whisky on your breath
    Could make a small boy dizzy;
    But I hung on like death;
    Such waltzing was not easy.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
