Smoky

Famous quotes containing the word smoky:

    In vain thou kindlest all thy smoky fire,
    For virtue hath this better lesson taught,
    Within myself to seek my only hire,
    Desiring nought but how to kill desire.
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    We are wearied of our huts
    And the smoky smell of our garments.
    We are sick with desire of the sun
    And the grass on the mountains.
    —Unknown. The Grass on the Mountain (l. 11–14)

    O, he is as tedious
    As a tired horse, a railing wife,
    Worse than a smoky house.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
