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.”

But now, what once made me so much admired
Is least regarded, and of none desired.’”

“Shall I, wasting in despair,
Die because a woman’s fair?
Or make pale my cheeks with care
‘Cause another’s rosy are?”
