• The perfume of the flowers and of the bay tree are wafted on high, like incense. The birds sing sweet songs of praise to their Creator. In the tops of the trees, the soughing of the wind is like the hushed prayers of the multitude in some vast cathedral. Here the heart of man becomes impressionable.

  William Wendt

  Song, Sweet, Prayer

• To be resigned when ills betide,
  Patient when favours are deni'd,
  And pleas'd with favours given, -
  Dear Chloe, this is wisdom's part;
  This is that incense of the heart
  Whose fragrance smells to heaven.

• You need to turn your room into a place of power. It's a good idea to have flowers around, candles, incense, you know, happy things. Make your room into a beautiful place and keep it impeccably clean.

• Being a cult figure in one's own lifetime I am afraid is not at all pleasant. However I do not find that it tends to puff one up: in my case at any rate it makes me feel extremely small and inadequate. But even the nose of a very modest idol cannot remain entirely untickled by the sweet smell of incense.

  J. R. R. Tolkien

  Sweet, Idols, Smell

• As soon as I find myself in the presence of a rich man, I cannot help looking upon him as an exceptional and beautiful being, as a sort of marvellous divinity, and, in spite of myself, surmounting my will and my reason, I feel rising, from the depths of my being, toward this rich man, who is very often an imbecile, and sometimes a murderer, something like an incense of admiration. Is it not stupid? And why? Why?

  Octave Mirbeau

  Beautiful, Stupid, Men

• Candlesticks and incense not being portable into the maintop, the sailor perceives these decorations to be, on the whole, inessential to a maintop mass. Sails must be set and cables bent, be it never so strict a saint's day; and it is found that no harm comes of it. Absolution on a lee-shore must be had of the breakers, it appears, if at all; and they give plenary and brief without listening to confession.

• If you were to close your eyes and walk into a place of worship, the sounds and smells would alert you to where you were: ringing bells, incense, the rumble of a massive organ. Most brands are lacking these sensory stimuli.

• My reality is that God speaks to you every day. There's an inner voice, and when you hear it, you get a little tingle in your medulla oblongata at the back of your neck, a little shiver, and at two o'clock in the morning, everything's really quiet and you meditate and you got the candles, you got the incense and you've been chanting, and all of a sudden you hear this voice: Write this down. It is just an inner voice, and you trust it. That voice will never take you to the desert.

  Carlos Santana

• La sopa de almejas de Nueva Inglaterra, hecha como es debido, es un plato para predicar, para entonar alabanzas y cantar himnos y quemar incienso ante él. [Es tan americano como las barras y estrellas, tan patriótico como el himno nacional. Es Yankee Doodle en una tetera.

• Daughter of heaven and earth, coy Spring,
  With sudden passion languishing,
  Teaching barren moors to smile,
  Painting pictures mile on mile,
  Holds a cup of cowslip wreaths
  Whence a smokeless incense breathes.

• Pero como escéptico, dudo de la ciencia como de todo lo demás, a menos que el propio científico sea un escéptico, y pocos de ellos lo son. El hedor del formaldehído puede ser tan potente como el del incienso para estimular un entendimiento naturalmente idólatra.

• El alcoholismo, el hábito del opio y el tabaquismo son un trío de hábitos venenosos que han supuesto importantes obstáculos para el progreso humano durante los últimos tres siglos. En los Estados Unidos, el sutil hechizo del opio se ha roto gracias a una legislación restrictiva; las garras del demonio del ron se han aflojado gracias a la Enmienda de Prohibición de la Constitución, pero el hábito del tabaco todavía mantiene su dominio y más de cien millones de víctimas del tabaquismo queman diariamente incienso al dios del humo.

• Lo que para unos es pecado, otros lo hacen para gloria de Dios. Y a pesar de los comentarios del buen Dr. Pentecostés, tengo la intención de ir a casa esta noche y fumar un cigarro para la gloria de Dios. Es una especie de incienso que va a la deriva hacia el Cielo.

  Charles Spurgeon
