Scent

Famous quotes containing the word scent:

“I believe in the flesh and the appetites,
Seeing, hearing, feeling, are miracles, and each part and tag of me

The scent of these arm-pits aroma finer than prayer,
This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“Pernicious weed! whose scent the fair annoys,
Unfriendly to society’s chief joys.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)

“Having grown up in shade of Church and State
Breathing the air of drawing-rooms and scent ...”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
