Famous quotes containing the words smell and/or test:
“See where she comes, and smell how all the street,
Breathes vineyards and pomegranates: oh, how sweet!
As a fired altar is each stone,
Perspiring pounded cinnamon.
The phoenix-nest,
Built up of odours, burneth in her breast.
Who therein would not consume
His soul to ash-heaps in that rich perfume,”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is, that it will explain all phenomena.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
