October turned my maple's leaves to gold The most are gone now here and there one lingers: Soon these will slip from the twigs' weak hold, Like coins between a dying miser's fingers.
Thomas Bailey Aldrich
Image
The winter is forbidden till December, And exits March the second on the dot. By order summer lingers through September In Camelot.
Alan Jay Lerner
Image
Once you experience enormity, it lingers everywhere you look, and want to be every word you say.
David Levithan
Image
Heat lingers As days are still long Early mornings are cool While autumn is still young. Dew on the lotus Scatters pure perfume Wind on the bamboos Gives off a gentle tinkling. I am idle and lonely, Lying down all day, Sick and decayed No one asks for me Thin dusk before my gates, Cassia blossoms inch deep.
Bai Juyi
Image
For a few minutes, maybe, life lingers in the tissues of some outlying regions of the body. Then, one by one, the lights go out and there is total blackness. And ifsome part of the non—entity we called George has indeed been absent at this moment of terminal shock, away out there on the deep water, then it will return to find itself homeless.
Christopher Isherwood
Image
When it's over you look up: the world looks the same but you are somehow different and that feeling lingers for days.
Audrey Niffenegger
Image
There are not many female role models to guide voters, and the tradition that a Southern woman's place is in the home still lingers in some quarters.
Madeleine M. Kunin
Image
I don't want what you see on the screen to just be a brief notion of pleasure but something that lingers. The idea is to have the images revisited. I want it to be something that also enhances the soul. I want the moment of pleasure to produce an attachment.
Elia Suleiman
Image
Sleep is no servant of the will it has caprices of its own when courted most, it lingers still when most pursued, 'tis swiftly gone.
John Bowring
Image
Oh, no! my heart can never be Again in lightest hopes the same The love that lingers there for thee Hath more of ashes than of flame.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Image
To respect the dignity of a relationship also implies accepting the end when it comes. Except in my mind, except in my dreams, where the aftertaste of her still lingers.
André Brink
Image
We are at the mercy of time, and for all the ways we are remembered, a sea of things will be lost. But how much is contained in what lingers!
Alice McDermott
Image
Fortunately for the human race, pain, however piercing, is not a lasting emotion. The recollection of happiness lingers, but the consciousness never retains for long the first thrust of tragic loss. The details of daily life crowd in upon the mind.
Wallis Simpson
Image
On certain mornings, as we turn a corner, an exquisite dew falls on our heart and then vanishes. But the freshness lingers, and this, always, is what the heart needs. The earth must have risen in just such a light the morning the world was born.
Albert Camus
Image
Perfume follows you it chases you and lingers behind you. It's a reference mark. Perfume makes silence talk.
Sonia Rykiel
Image
Whether elected or appointed he considers himself the Lord's anointed, and indeed the ointment lingers on him so thick you can't get your fingers on him.
Ogden Nash
Image
As noble Art has survived noble nature, so too she marches ahead of it, fashioning and awakening by her inspiration. Before Truth sends her triumphant light into the depths of the heart, imagination catches its rays, and the peaks of humanity will be glowing when humid night still lingers in the valleys.
Friedrich Schiller
Image
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.
Calvin Coolidge
Image
The incidence of memory is like light from dead stars whose influence lingers long after the events themselves.
David Horowitz
Image
I think love is caramel. Sweet and fragant always welcome. It is the gentle golden colour of a setting harvest sun the warmth of a squeezed embrace the easy melting of two souls into one and a taste that lingers even when everything else has melted away. Once tasted it is never forgotten.
Jenny Colgan
Image
Our forefathers had civilization inside themselves, the wild outside. We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still lingers. What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream.
Tom C. Clark
Image
After your first day of cycling, one dream is inevitable. A memory of motion lingers in the muscles of your legs, and round and round they seem to go. You ride through Dreamland on wonderful dream bicycles that change and grow.
H. G. Wells
Image
The satisfactions/of agreement are/immediate as sugar--/a melting of the/granular, a syrup/that lingers, shared/not singular./Many prefer it.
Kay Ryan
Image
His invitation lingers. So does my question. Why me? I don't know the answer. When I look at myself in the mirror, all I see is a starving, stunted bird who never grew wings and lost all reason to sing.
