Famous quotes containing the word cheeks:
“When we made love,
she issued hundreds of orders
and her cheeks bloomed with joy,
but at dawn,
this same woman hangs her head
and I’m not so sure she’s my lover.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“Love sits enthroned in Clara’s 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 (1717–1797)
“The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot.”
—Salvador Dali (1904–1989)
