Famous quotes containing the word charms:
“Love sits enthroned in Claras eyes,
The Graces play her lips around,
And in her cheeks the tendrest dyes
Of lilly mixed with rose are found.
Where charms so irresistless throng
What mortal heart can try resistance?
But ah! her nose is two feet long,
And bids our passions keep their distance.”
—Horace Walpole (17171797)
“If the heart of a man is deprest with cares,
The mist is dispelld when a woman appears;
Like the notes of a fiddle, she sweetly, sweetly
Raises the spirits, and charms our ears.”
—John Gay (16851732)
“Now my charms are all oerthrown,
And what strength I haves mine own,
Which is most faint.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
