Famous quotes containing the words jelly and/or belly:
“It is always allowable to ask for artichoke jelly with your boiled venison; however there are houses where this is not supplied.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“A rat crept softly through the vegetation
Dragging its slimy belly on the bank
While I was fishing in the dull canal
On a winter evening round behind the gashouse
Musing upon the king my brother’s wreck
And on the king my father’s death before him.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
