Blush

Famous quotes containing the word blush:

“Love no man in good earnest, nor no further in sport
neither, than with safety of a pure blush thou mayst in
honor come off again.”

“Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive,
Half wishing they were dead to save the shame.
The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow;
They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats,
And flare up bodily, wings and all. What then?
Who’s sorry for a gnat ... or girl?”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“Ours is the bee’s soft belly
and the blush of the rose-petal,
lifted, of the flower.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
