Rodin

To A Kiss

Humid seal of soft

affections, Tend'rest pledge of

future bliss, Dearest tie of

young connections, Love's first snow-drop, virgin kiss.

Nikolay Antonov

Speaking silence, dumb confession, Passion's birth, and infants' play, Dove-like fondness, chaste concession, Glowing dawn of brighter day.

Nikolay Antonov

Sorrowing joy, adieu's last action, Ling'ring lips, no more to join! What words can ever speak affection Thrilling and sincere as thine !

Robert Burns  

Nikolay Antonov

For twas not into my ear you

whispered But into

my heart Twas not my lips

you kissed But my soul Judy

Francesco Hayez

Kisses kept are wasted;

Love is to be tasted.

There are some you love, I know;Be not loathe to

tell them so. Lips go dry and eyes grow wet Waiting to be warmly met.

Keep them not in waiting yet;

Kisses kept are wasted.

Edmund Vance Cooke  

Celeste Welch

The Kiss Soon, yes soon, we'll have our

chance, To embrace

each other in love's dance.

A dance which I'll take her hand and

show,

Klimt

Gustav Klimt - Kiss of the Whole

World

The love she's yet to know.

And yes, we'll know it

with that kiss,

The first look of tender

bliss. The hug and

warm embrace will

say it all ,

The fear and doubts we've had will fall, Fall from the precipice into

the abyss, With that first sweet tender

kiss.P. Bere

Alexandrovsky

Jose Ventura

When you kiss me

Without uttering a

single word You speak to

my soul Unknown

Dorit Levinstein

Picasso

The moment eternal - just that and no more -When ecstasy's utmost we clutch at the coreWhile cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut, and lips meet!

Robert Browning

We turned on one another

deep, drowned gazes, and

exchanged a kiss that

reduced my bones to

rubber and my brain to gruel.

Peter De Vries

The sound of a kiss is not so

loud as that of a cannon, but its

echo lasts a great deal

longer.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score; Then to that twenty, add a hundred more; A thousand to that hundred; so kiss on,

To make that thousand up a

million; Treble that million, and when that is

done, Let's kiss

afresh, as when we first begun.

Robert Herrick

Roger HopkinsThe first kiss

It is the passion that is in a kiss that gives to it its sweetness; it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it.

Christian Nevell Bovee

Barry Woods Johnston

First Kiss Bougeureau

A kiss, when all is said, what is it? A rosy dot placed on the ''I'' in loving; Tis a secret told to the mouth instead of to the ear.

Edmond Rostand

Aleksey Sokolov

A kiss can be

a comma ,

a question mark

or an exclamation point. That's basic spelling that every woman ought to

know.
