Then
what a variety of smells interwoven in subtlest combination thrilled his
nostrils; strong smells of earth, sweet smells of flowers; nameless smells of
leaf and bramble; sour smells as they crossed the road; pungent smells as they
entered bean-fields. But suddenly down
the wind came tearing a smell sharper, stronger, more lacerating than any--a
smell that ripped across his brain stirring a thousand instincts, releasing a
million memories--the smell of hare, the smell of fox. Flush (12)
On October 5, 1933, Flush was published (the autobiography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Cocker Spaniel)
