Lips quote

Red lips like a living, laughing rose.

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.

Lips like the carmine's ruddy glow.

SIR THOMAS HIGGONS

attributed, Day's Collacon


If I could choose my paradise,
And please myself with choice of bliss,
Then I would have your soft blue eyes
And rosy little mouth to kiss;
Your lips, as smooth and tender, child,
As rose-leaves in a coppice wild.

THOMAS ASHE

You feel on your lips a kiss
Fluttering, a tiny scrap of life ...

Did waxe both wan and pale.

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

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Romeo and Juliet


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

O Love, O fire! once he drew
With one long kiss my whole soul through
My lips, as sunlight drinketh dew.

thick lips
devouring drink and women
an elemental force
like Balzac done by Rodin

Death of Villeneuve and Other Poems


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

GRACE GREENWOOD

Greenwood Leaves: a Collection of Sketches and Letters


But when lips' speech mute lips have ratified,
And our hearts' music is intensely blent,
I'll lay me on thy lap, and cry--Content!

Lips with such sweetness in their honeyed deeps
As fills the rose in which a fairy sleeps.
