The nectar of the gods to these is tasteless. - [Kisses] Oh, frail estate of human things! - [Vanity] Old age creeps on us ere we think it nigh. - [Proverbs] Once more for pity, that I may keep the flavor upon my lips till we meet again. - [Kisses] Displaying page 7 of 21 for this author: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 [7] 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
