Sweet

Famous quotes containing the word sweet:

    When one by one our ties are torn,
    And friend from friend is snatched forlorn;
    When man is left alone to mourn,
    Oh! then how sweet it is to die!
    Anna Letitia (Aikin)

    And now I must dream the forest whole
    and your sweet hands, not once as frozen
    as those stopped trees, nor ruled, nor pale,
    nor leaving mine.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Think of sweet and chocolate,
    Left to folly or to fate,
    Whom the higher gods forgot,
    Whom the lower gods berate;
    Physical and underfed
    Fancying on the featherbed ...
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
