Renée was wrapped in the powerful bridals of the earth that gave birth to these dark growths, these colossal stamina; and the acrid birth-throes of this hotbed, of this forest growth, of this mass of vegetation aglow with the entrails that nourished it, surrounded her with disturbing odours. At her feet was the steaming tank, its tepid water thickened by the sap from the floating roots, enveloping her shoulders with a mantle of heavy vapours, forming a mist that warmed her skin like the touch of a hand moist with desire. Overhead she could smell the palm trees, whose tall leaves shook down their aroma. And more than the stifling heat, more than the brilliant light, more than the great dazzling flowers, like faces laughing or grimacing between the leaves, it was the odours that overwhelmed her. An indescribable perfume, potent, exciting, composed of a thousand different perfumes, hung about her; human exudation, the breath of women, the scent of hair; and breezes sweet and swooningly faint were blended with breezes coarse and pestilential, laden with poison. But amid this strange music of odours, the dominant melody that constantly returned, stifling the sweetness of the vanilla and the orchids' pungency, was the penetrating, sensual smell of flesh, the smell of lovemaking escaping in the early morning from the bedroom of newlyweds.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Émile Zola" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/mile-zola/endless-love-and-voluptuous-appetite-pervaded-this-stifling-nave-in/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/712/mile-zola-1188_decadence_endless-love-and-voluptuous-appetite-per_2108871.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/712/mile-zola-1188_decadence_endless-love-and-voluptuous-appetite-per_2108871.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/712/mile-zola-1188_decadence_endless-love-and-voluptuous-appetite-per_2108871.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Endless love and voluptuous appetite pervaded this stifling nave in which settled the ardent sap of the…” — Émile Zola", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "Odours have a power of persuasion stronger than that of words, appearances, emotions or will.
