First choose the well-formed sandals-meet to guard And grace her delicate feet; then for her robe The tissue, pure as Etna's snow that lies Nearest the sun-light as the Wreathy mist At summer dawn-so playful let it float About her airy limbs.
"The Bride of Messina A Tragedy"
Frederich Schiller
Namely using hickory smoke not delivered from furnace pipes but welling up, up, in beautiful Wreathy spirals, to reach row on row of hams and flitches-and to be told, by a kind person who did not know she already knew, that their curing was patterned on the old English model-curing in the smoke of great-throated stone hall chimneys.
"Dishes & Beverages of the Old South"
Martha McCulloch Williams
One step, and down the dizzy cliff, My form had to the waters swung, But gliding in a Wreathy skiff, That o'er the crested billows hung, A white form like my mother seemed To shine a moment on my eye;- With warning look the vision gleamed, Then vanished upward to the sky!
