About This Quote
When we think of a wind that gushes and stinks, we imagine it as a smelly and unpleasant thing. We associate the smell and the gushing with an “evil-smelling” person. We also think of it as someone who is not particularly clean or has poor personal hygiene. However, the name “Sulphurous” actually comes from the Greek word “sulphur” which means sulfur, which is also an element found in some fertilizers and some dyes. The idea of a “sulphurous” wind is not necessarily a bad thing, but can be associated with things that are not inherently bad – it is just that they have a bad smell.
