Famous quotes containing the word fairest:
“With fairest flowers
Whilst summer lasts and I live here, Fidele,
Ill sweeten thy sad grave. Thou shalt not lack
The flower thats like thy face, pale primrose, nor
The azured harebell, like thy veins; no, nor
The leaf of eglantine, whom not to slander,
Outsweetened not thy breath.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“The fairest things have fleetest end,
Their scent survives their close:
But the roses scent is bitterness
To him that loved the rose.”
—Francis Thompson (18591907)
“Away, and mock the time with fairest show;
False face must hide what the false heart doth know.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
