Lover

Famous quotes containing the word lover:

“With my whole body I taste these peaches,
I touch them and smell them. Who speaks?
I absorb them as the Angevine
Absorbs Anjou. I see them as a lover sees,
As a young lover sees the first buds of spring
And as the black Spaniard plays his guitar.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“That waxen seal, that signature.
For things like these what decent man
Would keep his lover waiting?
Keep his lover waiting?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“You are my lover and I am your mistress and kingdoms and empires and governments have tottered and succumbed before now to that mighty combination.”
—Violet Trefusis (1894–1972)
