She was as beautiful as a garden rose is, needing no defense, no ramparts of cloying phrases. The day of poets is gone, otherwise she would have been sung in cantos. She was tall, shapely, deep-bosomed, fine-skinned.
Instead, his nostrils were scorched with a noxious odor of sulfur, burned hair and cloying incense. He gagged on it. His diaphragm tautened with the sharp pain of long-unused muscles, and he sneezed. "A good sign," a man's voice said. "The followers have accepted and are leaving. Only a true being can sneeze. But unless the salamander works, his chances are only slight."
The chestnut also comes under this head, and is largely eaten in Spain and Italy, either boiled, or dried and ground into flour. TUBERS and ROOTS follow, and of these the Potato leads the van. Low as you may have noticed their standing on the food-table to be, they are the most economical and valuable of foods, combining as well with others, and as little cloying to the palate, as bread itself.
I had nothing particularly pleasing to think about; but the mood of retrospect and anticipation seemed to ramble about, picking sweet-smelling flowers from the past and future alike. I seemed to desire nothing and to regret nothing. My cup was full of a pleasant beverage, neither cloying nor intoxicating, and the glad spring-time tempered it nicely to my taste.
Boats clustered around us, their occupants pelting us with flowers. A deluge spray of perfume was turned on us a heavy, exotic scent, almost cloying. It lay redolent on our garments for hours. Presently Tarrano gave us masks. And long robes for Maida and Elza to cover the gay holiday dresses they were wearing. At the edge of the city a canal had been dug through the hillside.
All bonds were irksome to him, and instinctively he avoided the greater with the lesser; instinctively he realized that the admission of cloying influences, of the entanglements of sex, would more definitely bind him than any generality of society. It had, he thought, grown dark with amazing rapidity. He could now see a feeble light at the Gilkans, ahead and on the right.
A great, cloying, disturbing, disintegrating factor in her life was revealed by the dawning discovery that she and her mother were without much money, that aside from her lineage she was in a certain sense an interloper in society. There were never rumors of great wealth in connection with her no flattering whispers or public notices regarding her station as an heiress.
Here he entirely abandons the lyric manner, and adventures on a new field, in which he does not prove very successful. The poem is full of great beauties of detail; but as a whole it is cloying and yet not satisfying. For a few lines together Catullus can write in hexameter more exquisitely than any other Latin poet.
Sensuous, passionate, and almost cloying in the excessive sweetness of his amorous muse, he offers no support to the wearied spirit, no sense of strength or renewal to the fagged brain.
She seemed to see him discarding that clinging, dove-fair girl, for cloying his senses and getting on his nerves, discarding her with caustic words, to abide alone the consequences of her infatuation. She put her hand timidly on that shaking shoulder, and stroked it. For a moment the sobbing stopped, and the girl said brokenly: "Oh, Mrs. Fiorsen, I do love him so!"
