Gruel & Grueling Days Quotes
“There is nothing like a plate or a bowl of hot soup, it's wisp of aromatic steam making the nostrils quiver with anticipation, to dispel the depressing effects of a grueling day at the office or the shop, rain or snow in the streets, or bad news in the papers.”
Louis P. De Gouy, ‘The Soup Book’ (1949)
"There was an Old Person of Ewell,
Who chiefly subsisted on gruel;
But to make it more nice,
he inserted some mice,
Which refreshed that Old Person of Ewell."
Edward Lear, English artist, writer; known for his 'literary nonsense' & limericks (1812-1888)
