Sweetest

Famous quotes containing the word sweetest:

“O sleep, O gentle sleep,
Nature’s soft nurse, how have I frighted thee,
That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down
And steep my senses in forgetfulness?
Why rather, sleep, liest thou in smoky cribs,
Upon uneasy pallets stretching thee,
And hushed with buzzing night-flies to thy slumber,
Than in the perfumed chambers of the great,
Under the canopies of costly state,
And lulled with sound of sweetest melody?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“No mate, no comrade Lucy knew;
She dwelt on a wide moor,
MThe sweetest thing that ever grew
Beside a human door!”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness,
And in the taste confounds the appetite.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
