Sweet

Famous quotes containing the word sweet:

    Ah, it is sweet on the hills,
    to dance in sacred faun-pelt,
    to dance until one falls faint,
    to beat the sacred dance-beat
    until one drops down
    worn out.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Ten or twelve, only ten or twelve
    Strokes of havoc Ășnselve
    The sweet especial scene,
    Rural scene, a rural scene,
    Sweet especial rural scene.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

    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)
