To be overcome by the fragrance of flowers is a delectable form of defeat.
More Quotes from Beverley Nichols:
Marriage - a book of which the first chapter is written in poetry and the remaining chapters in prose.Beverley Nichols
Life in the country teaches one that the really stimulating things are the quiet, natural things, and the really wearisome things are the noisy, unnatural things. It is more exciting to stand still than to dance. Silence is more eloquent than speech. Water is more stimulating than wine. Fresh air is more intoxicating than cigarette smoke. Sunlight is more subtle than electric light. The scent of grass is more luxurious than the most expensive perfume. The slow, simple observations of the peasant are more wise than the most sparkling epigrams of the latest wit.
