Soft Nose

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or nose:

“Not honey, not the sweet

and the clinging of the gold-edged
pollen-dusted feet.”

“My uncle Toby had scarce a heart to retalliate upon a fly.
Go,—says he, one day at dinner, to an over-grown one which had buzz’d about his nose ... go poor Devil, get thee gone, why should I hurt thee?—This world surely is wide enough to hold both thee and me.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
