Dainty

Famous quotes containing the word dainty:

“It so happened that, a few weeks later, “Old Ernie” [Ernest Hemingway] himself was using my room in New York as a hide-out from literary columnists and reporters during one of his rare stopover visits between Africa and Key West. On such all-too-rare occasions he lends an air of virility to my dainty apartment which I miss sorely after he has gone and all the furniture has been repaired.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

“Then stretch our bones in a still gloomy valley;
Nothing’s so dainty sweet as lovely melancholy.”
—John Fletcher (1579–1625)

“Let us not be dainty of leave-taking,
But shift away.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
