dinner (n.)
This was a good dinner enough, to be sure, but it was not a dinner to ask a man to.
A dinner lubricates business.
All human history attests
That happiness for man,—the hungry sinner!—
Since Eve ate apples, much depends on dinner.
I never take a nap after dinner but when I have had a bad night; and then the nap takes me.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
Man's life is like unto a winter's day,—
Some break their fast and so depart away;
Others stay dinner, then depart full fed;
The longest age but sups and goes to bed.
O reader, then behold and see!
As we are now, so must you be.
This was a good dinner enough, to be sure, but it was not a dinner to ask a man to.
That all-softening, overpowering knell,
The tocsin of the soul,—the dinner bell.
