'Twas a hand
White, delicate, dimpled, warm, languid, and bland.
The hand of a woman is often, in youth, Somewhat rough, somewhat red, somewhat graceless in truth;
Does its beauty refine, as its pulses grow calm,
Or as sorrow has cross'd the life-line in its palm.

Additional quotes by Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton

A night of tears! for the gusty rain
Had ceased, but the eaves were dripping yet;
And the moon look'd forth, as tho' in pain,
With her face al white and wet.

That man is great, and he alone,
Who serves a greatness not his own.

Whene'er I hear French spoken as I approve,
I feel myself quietly falling in love.
