Smells

Famous quotes containing the word smells:

    We praise Him, we bless Him, we adore Him, we glorify Him, and we wonder who is that baritone across the aisle and that pretty woman on our right who smells of apple blossoms. Our bowels stir and our cod itches and we amend our prayers for the spiritual life with the hope that it will not be too spiritual.
    John Cheever (1912–1982)

    Gloucester. O, let me kiss that hand!
    Lear. Let me wipe it first, it smells of mortality.
    Gloucester. O ruined piece of nature! This great world
    Shall so wear out to nought.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The morning comes to consciousness
    Of faint stale smells of beer
    From the sawdust-trampled street
    With all its muddy feet that press
    To early coffee-stands.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
