LIPS QUOTES III
quotations about lips
Heart on her lips and soul within her eyes,
Soft as her clime, and sunny as her skies.
LORD BYRON

A woman's lips are a type of door into voluptuousness.
JAMES WADDELL

Saith the lover of his mistress: The rose is disgraced by the redness of her cheeks, and the juice of the grape desireth to resemble the moisture of her lips.

Is ruby 'neath a bloom of blue.

Her eager sense delighted, fondly sips
Th' ambrosiac honey of her lover's lips,
Who while his love-tale telling, roses speaks.

Curved like an archer's bow to send the bitter arrows out.

To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

Like a nightingale in roses.

Lips moulded in love are tremulously full of the glowing softness they borrow from the heart, and electrically obedient to its impulses.

Like the petals of the Rose
When the dews their scent disclose,
Soft as velvet tho' they be,
Fragrant of the Dawn and thee,
Yet thy lips are sweeter far
Than all garden Roses are.
CHARLES WILLIAM CAYZER

OWAIN
attributed, Day's Collacon
Shall this nectar
Run useless, then, to waste? or ... these lips,
That open like the morn, breathing perfumes,
On such as dare approach them, be untouch'd?
They must--nay, 'tis in vain to make resistance--
Be often kissed and tasted.
PHILIP MASSINGER

Red lips like a living, laughing rose.

With one long kiss my whole soul through
My lips, as sunlight drinketh dew.

Lips, like roses dropping myrrh.
GEORGE SANDYS
The Song of Solomon
Lips with such sweetness in their honeyed deeps
As fills the rose in which a fairy sleeps.
