Sweet

Famous quotes containing the word sweet:

“The morning rose, that untouched stands
Armed with her briars, how sweet she smells!
But plucked and strained through ruder hands,
Her sweets no longer with her dwells,
But scent and beauty both are gone,
And leaves fall from her, one by one.”
—Sir Robert Ayton (1570–1638)

“There is no death! The leaves may fall,
And flowers may fade and pass away—
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The warm, sweet breath of May.”
—John Luckey McCreery (1835–1906)

“Hermia. Good night, sweet friend;
Thy love ne’er alter till thy sweet life end!
Lysander. Amen, amen, to that fair prayer say I,
And then end life when I end loyalty!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
