Sweet Dish

Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or dish:

    The delicious faces of children, the beauty of school-girls, “the sweet seriousness of sixteen,” the lofty air of well-born, well-bred boys, the passionate histories in the looks and manners of youth and early manhood, and the varied power in all that well-known company that escort us through life,—we know how these forms thrill, paralyze, provoke, inspire, and enlarge us.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Is it enough
    That the dish of milk is set out at night,
    That we think of him sometimes,
    Sometimes and always, with mixed feelings?
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
