Dainty June

Famous quotes containing the words dainty and/or june:

    Then stretch our bones in a still gloomy valley;
    Nothing’s so dainty sweet as lovely melancholy.
    John Fletcher (1579–1625)

    Ask me no more where Jove bestows,
    When June is past, the fading rose;
    For in your beauty’s orient deep
    These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.

    Ask me no more whither do stray
    The golden atoms of the day;
    For in pure love heaven did prepare
    Those powders to enrich your hair.
    Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
