Tender

Famous quotes containing the word tender:

“My tender age in sorrow did begin:
And still with sicknesses and shame
Thou did’st so punish sin,
That I became
Most thin.
With Thee
Let me combine
And feel this day Thy victory;”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)

“She gave up beauty in her tender youth,
Gave all her hope and joy and pleasant ways;
She covered up her eyes lest they should gaze
On vanity, and chose the bitter truth.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
