From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"As the three women stood there, taking leave of each other, the odour of the cheeses seemed to become more pestilential than ever. It was a cacophony of smells, ranging from the heavily oppressive odour of the Dutch cheeses and the Gruyeres to the alkaline pungency of the Olivets." --Le Ventre de Paris (1873) by Émile Zola, translation by Ernest Alfred Vizetelly |
