Sentences with WHIFFS (5)

Here sleeps the sun long, idle summer hours; Here butterflies and bees fare far to rove Amid the crumpled leaves of poppy flowers; Here four o'clocks, to the passionate night above Fling whiffs of perfume, like pale incense showers.
A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass Amy Lowell 2008

Beyond the City Arthur Conan Doyle 2008

Quotes with WHIFFS (2)
