Scent

Famous quotes containing the word scent:

    “The scent of wine, oh how much more agreeable, laughing, praying, celestial and delicious it is than that of oil!”
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)

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

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

    Divine am I inside and out, and I make holy whatever I touch or am touch’d from,
    The scent of these arm-pits aroma finer than prayer,
    This head more than churches, bibles, and all the creeds.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
