Sweet

Famous quotes containing the word sweet:

“With sweet May dews my wings were wet,
And Phoebus fir’d my vocal rage;
He caught me in his silken net,
And shut me in his golden cage.

He loves to sit and hear me sing,
Then, laughing, sports and plays with me;
Then stretches out my golden wing,
And mocks my loss of liberty.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“Adversity’s sweet milk, philosophy,
To comfort thee, though thou art banishèd.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“That sweet city with her dreaming spires.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
