LIPS QUOTES IV
quotations about lips
I will kiss thy lips;
Haply, some poison yet doth hang on them.

That sunny walls from Boreas screen.

Th' ambrosiac honey of her lover's lips,

EDMOND ROSTAND
Cyrano de Bergerac
O naked flower
of my lips, you lie! I await a thing unknown
or perhaps, unaware of the mystery and your cries
you give, O lips, the supreme tortured moans
of a childhood groping among its reveries
to sort out finally its cold precious stones.
STÉPHANE MALLARMÉ
"Hérodiade", Selected Poems
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
"Altar of Roses", By the Way of the Gate

ROBERT GREENE
"Menaphon's Eclogue", Greene's Arcadia
thick lips
devouring drink and women
an elemental force
like Balzac done by Rodin

Death of Villeneuve and Other Poems
There, the brows of mild repression--there, the lips of silent passion,
Curved like an archer's bow to send the bitter arrows out.

Like a nightingale in roses.

How much the lips express all can tell; they are curled by pride or anger, drawn thin by cunning, smoothed by benevolence, and made placid by effeminacy; fine lips indicate exquisite susceptibilities.
DR. PORTER
attributed, Day's Collacon
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Heart on her lips and soul within her eyes,
Soft as her clime, and sunny as her skies.
