LIPS QUOTES III
quotations about lips
Her lips were like nourishment to him, her moans like an intoxicating wine.

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.

thick lips
devouring drink and women
an elemental force
like Balzac done by Rodin
MARTIN GRAY
Death of Villeneuve and Other Poems
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.

That sunny walls from Boreas screen.
They tempt the taste and charm the sight.

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

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

"Fair Rosamond", Strange Histories, or Songs and Sonnets of Kinges, Princes, Dukes, Lords, Ladyes, Knights, and Gentlemen
And all my kisses on thy balmy lips as sweet,
As are the breezes breath'd amidst the groves
Of ripening spices on the height of day:
As vigorous too.
APHRA BEHN

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
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 roses dropping myrrh.

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

Th' ambrosiac honey of her lover's lips,
Who while his love-tale telling, roses speaks.

Soft as her clime, and sunny as her skies.
