Parting

Famous quotes containing the word parting:

“Ere I could
Give him that parting kiss which I had set
Betwixt two charming words, comes in my father,
And like the tyrannous breathing of the north
Shakes all our buds from growing.”

And kissed her lips with such a clamorous smack
That at the parting all the church did echo.”

In my veins, in my bones I feel it,—
The small waters seeping upward,
The tight grains parting at last.”
