Lips quote

Her lips were like honey, too sweet to be borne.

J. TRACKSLER

A woman's lips are a key to her character, and to-day lips have a firmer and more resolute line, for they shape words of command, laugh at danger, and with a smile suppress weariness and pain.

Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

Her lips are like two budded roses,
Whom ranks of lilies neighbor nigh,
Within which bounds she balm encloses,
Apt to entice a deity.

As the eddies and dimples of the tide
Play round the bows of ships.

With one long kiss my whole soul through

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.

IBN MATRÛH

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

There is life in the lips of true lovers.

A kiss is a secret which takes the lips for the ear.

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

Her lippes, erst like the corall redde,
Did waxe both wan and pale.
