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)

    [Gen. William S.] “Rosecrans [at Chicamauga] has been badly beaten!”... How these blows strike my heart!... I suffer from these blows more than I did from the loss of my sweet little boy. But I suffer less now than I did from Bull Run, or even Fredericksburg.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    I thought of a mound in sweet Auburn
    Where a little headstone stood;
    How the flakes were folding it gently,
    As did robins the babes in the wood.

    Up spoke our own little Mabel,
    Saying, “Father, who makes it snow?”
    And I told of the good All-father
    Who cares for us here below.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
