Kisses

Famous quotes containing the word kisses:

“Take, O take, those lips away,
That so sweetly were forsworn;
And those eyes, the break of day,
Lights that do mislead the morn:
But my kisses bring again
Bring again:
Seals of love but sealed in vain,”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“She kisses her killed boy.
And she is sorry.
Chaos in windy grays
through a red prairie.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“Grovelling,
intimate words,
heart-stealing flattery,
a tight embrace
of my thinner-than-thin body,
violent kisses all over—
obviously,
getting angry is worth the risk,
but even still,
I’m not interested.
My lover
is dear to my heart,
so how could I be like that
on purpose?”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
