Oh, the spells that haunt the trembling tale a bright-eyed maiden tells! - Sir Edwin Arnold The young girl who begins to experience the necessity of loving seeks to hide it; but the desire of pleasing betrays the secret of her heart, and sometimes reveals her hopes. - Beauchene The blushing beauties of a modest maid. - John Dryden A child no more! a maiden now-- A graceful maiden, with a gentle brow; A cheek tinged lightly and a dove-like eye; And all hearts bless her as she passes by. - Mary Howitt She had grown, in her unstained seclusion, bright and pure as a first opening lilac, when it spreads its clear leaves to the sweetest dawn of May. - James Gates Percival Let the words of a virgin, though in a good cause, and to as good purpose, be neither violent, many, nor first, nor last; it is less shame for a virgin to be lost in a blushing silence than to be found in a bold eloquence. - Francis Quarles A maiden hath no tongue--but thought. - William Shakespeare A maiden never bold; of spirit so still and quiet that her motion blushed at herself. - William Shakespeare Maids want nothing but husbands; and when they have them they want everything. - William Shakespeare Poor maids have more lovers than husbands. - John Webster Nature has thrown a veil of modest beauty over maidenhood and moss-roses. - Nathaniel Parker Willis
