Famous quotes containing the word cheeks:
“The graceless madness of her lips,
Who was the powder-puff of life,
Cannot rouge those cheeks nor warm
His cold corpuscles back to strife.”

“Love sits enthroned in Clara’s eyes,
The Graces play her lips around,
And in her cheeks the tendrest dyes
Of lilly mixed with rose are found.
Where charms so irresistless throng
What mortal heart can try resistance?
But ah! her nose is two feet long,
And bids our passions keep their distance.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“Shall I, wasting in despair,
Die because a woman’s fair?
Or make pale my cheeks with care
‘Cause another’s rosy are?”
—George Wither (1588–1667)
