Smoky

Famous quotes containing the word smoky:

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

    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)

    A lustreless protrusive eye
    Stares from the protozoic slime
    At a perspective of Canaletto.
    The smoky candle end of time
    Declines.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
