Maiden

Famous quotes containing the word maiden:

“It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

And so graced
To be placed
‘Fore damask roses.

Yet though thus respected
By-and-by
Ye do lie,
Poor girls, neglected.”

“A maiden marries to please her parents; a widow to please herself.”
