Indeed, poetry is a good deal like food. We all of us like bread and butter, and we eat it every day and get good, solid nourishment from it; but only the educated palate can appreciate the refinements of caviar, or Gorgonzola cheese, or some rare and special vintage.
The King having suitably acknowledged the honour done him, was next reconciled to Gorgonzola, and they two presently opened the ball together. The Fairy Marsontine restored their natural forms to King Bayard and all his subjects, and he appeared once more as handsome a king as you could wish to see.
Here, just before afternoon school, they secreted ginger beer bottles, a loaf of bread, butter, some tomatoes and a chunk of Gorgonzola cheese. In the morning they carried away the bottles in their pockets. It would have been much easier and much more comfortable to have had a meal in their study, but then it would have lacked the savour of romance.
It might even have struck you as vulgar, since it depended for its humour upon gorgonzola cheese, the eldest son of the German Emperor, mal-de-mer, and a number of other things not considered amusing in polite society.
Prominent among such is the ancient butter which forms the basis of much of their spicings, butter made from milk, which has been preserved usually buried a year or two till it has acquired the taste, and somewhat the appearance, of ripe Gorgonzola.
Italian I prefer. Good glass of burgundy take away that. Lubricate. A nice salad, cool as a cucumber, Tom Kernan can dress. Puts gusto into it. Pure olive oil. Milly served me that cutlet with a sprig of parsley. Take one Spanish onion. God made food, the devil the cooks. Devilled crab. Wife well? Quite well, thanks... A cheese sandwich, then.

Stephen met it as one meets a person whom one fancies one has met somewhere but cannot remember where.
'You are right there, and you will see what will come of your fine goings on, and remember the Fairy Gorgonzola! So saying she mounted the dragon and flew off, the rockets shooting in all directions and leaving long trails of sparks.
'What are you made up as? A piece of Gorgonzola? Henry glanced hastily at the mirror. Yes, he did look rather old. He must have overdone some of the lines on his forehead. He looked something between a youngish centenarian and a nonagenarian who had seen a good deal of trouble. 'If you knew how you were demoralizing the company, Jelliffe went on, 'you would drop it.
POOR DEAR MAMMA blunders, halts too long, and breaks through it. It's all your rheumatism. They ride out of the garden. The Captain falls back. Ugh! Et caetera, et caetera, et caetera.
