  • Shakespeare.

    Lips moulded in love are tremulously full of the glowing softness they borrow from the heart, and electrically obedient to its impulse.

    Her lips, though they were kept close with modest silence, yet, with a pretty kind of natural swelling, seemed to invite the guests that looked on them.
