Feels the same comfort while his acrid words Turn the sweet milk of kindness into curds.
My first impression as I opened the door was that a fire had broken out, for the room was so filled with smoke that the light of the lamp upon the table was blurred by it. As I entered, however, my fears were set at rest, for it was the acrid fumes of strong coarse tobacco which took me by the throat and set me coughing.

Frigid and fleet my Feet --
Alien and vain whatever Clime
Acrid whatever Fate.
Here I confess to a lofty scorn,
And an acrid skepticism.
