Sweet

Famous quotes containing the word sweet:

    I never saw so sweet a face
    As that I stood before:
    My heart has left its dwelling-place
    And can return no more.
    John Clare (1793–1864)

    Every New Englander might easily raise all his own breadstuffs in this land of rye and Indian corn, and not depend on distant and fluctuating markets for them. Yet so far are we from simplicity and independence that, in Concord, fresh and sweet meal is rarely sold in the shops, and hominy and corn in a still coarser form are hardly used by any.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Some day the war will end, but, oh, I knew
    When he went walking grandly out that door
    That my sweet love would have to be untrue.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
