What is a fine person or a beauteous face, Unless deportment give them decent grace Blessed with all other requisites to please, To want the striking elegance of ease Awkward, embarrassed, stiff, without the skill Of moving gracefully, or standing still.
Winston Churchill
Image
The beauteous dragonfly's dancing By the waves of the rivulet glancing She dances here and she dances there, The glimmering, glittering flutterer fair. Full many a beetle with loud applause Admires her dress of azure gauze, Admires her body's bright splendour, And also her figure so slender...
Heinrich Heine
Image
My soul, there is a country Far beyond the stars Where stands a wingèd sentry All skillful in the wars: There, above noise and danger, Sweet Peace is crowned with smiles, And One born in a manger Commands the beauteous files.
Henry Vaughan
Image
It is no small honour that God for our sake has so magnificently adorned the world, in order that we may not only be spectators of this beauteous theatre, but also enjoy the multiplied abundance and variety of good things which are presented to us in it.
John Calvin
Image
I love all beauteous things, I seek and adore them
Robert Bridges
Image
Yellow, mellow, ripened days, Sheltered in a golden coating O'er the dreamy, listless haze, White and dainty cloudlets floating Winking at the blushing trees, And the sombre, furrowed fallow Smiling at the airy ease, Of the southward flying swallow Sweet and smiling are thy ways, Beauteous, golden Autumn days.
Will Carleton
Image
Yet will that beauteous image make The dreary sea less drear And thy remembered smile will wake The hope that tramples fear
William C. Bryant
Image
All beauteous things for which we live By laws of space and time decay. But Oh, the very reason why I clasp them, is because they die.
William Johnson Cory
Image
Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day And make me travel forth without my cloak, To let base clouds o'ertake me in my way, Hiding they brav'ry in their rotten smoke?
William Shakespeare
Image
Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, Shall win my love.
William Shakespeare
Image
But pearls are fair and the old saying is: Black men are pearls in beauteous ladies' eyes.
William Shakespeare
Image
Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp, To guard a title that was rich before, To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.
William Shakespeare
Image
Virtue is beauty, but the beauteous evil. Are empty trunks o'erflourished by the devil.
William Shakespeare
Image
With education symmetrical and true we will take the dead mass buried by slavery's hand and touch them to life. This beauteous angel, which has always done its work for those on earth, will roll away the stone from the tomb where is buried a race, and my people will come forth to their glory and the amazement of the world.
William Tecumseh Vernon
Image
Pleasure, that immortal essence, the beauteous bead sparkling in the cup, effervesces soon and subsides.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Image
Our meddling intellect Misshapes the beauteous forms of things We murder to dissect
William Wordsworth
Image
Some say that sudden knowledge of mystical matters is accomplished only in complete quietude, or that Creator, in one of God's many forms, appears only in orderly ways that are beauteous and picturesque, or that the mystical appears only in completely silent ways. All are true. Except for the 'only' part.
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Image
Sweet is the lore which Nature brings Our meddling intellect Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things We murder to dissect. Enough of Science and of Art Close up these barren leaves Come forth, and bring with you a heart That watches and receives.
William Wordsworth
Image
Again the violet of our early days Drinks beauteous azure from the golden sun, And kindles into fragrance at his blaze.
Ebenezer Elliott
Image
Of all that is most beauteous, imaged there In happier beauty more pellucid streams, An ampler ether, a diviner air, And fields invested with purpureal gleams.
William Wordsworth
Image
True beauty dwells on high: ours is a flame But borrowed thence to light us thither. Beauty and beauteous words should go together.
George Herbert
Image
Dear, beauteous death, the jewel of the just! Shining nowhere but in the dark What mysteries do lie beyond thy dust, Could man outlook that mark!
Henry Vaughan
Image
The bed of flowers Loosens amain, The beauteous snowdrops Droop o'er the plain. The crocus opens Its glowing bud, Like emeralds others, Others, like blood. With saucy gesture Primroses flare, And roguish violets, Hidden with care And whatsoever There stirs and strives, The Spring's contented, If works and thrives.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Hearts are like tapers, which at beauteous eyes Kindle a flame of love that never dies And beauty is a flame, where hearts, like moths, Offer themselves a burning sacrifice.
Omar Khayyam
