Word with: "dainty"
"Yellow, mellow, ripened days,
Sheltered in a golden coating;
O'er the dreamy, listless haze,
White and dainty cloudlets floating;
Winking at the blushing trees,
And the sombre, furrowed fallow;
Smiling at the airy ease,
Of the southward flying swallow
Sweet and smiling are thy ways,
Beauteous, golden Autumn days."
Author: Will Carleton
About: Autumn
"Have you not heard the poets tell
How came the dainty Baby Bell
Into this world of ours?"
Author: Thomas Bailey Aldrich
About: Babyhood
"The honey-bee that wanders all day long
The field, the woodland, and the garden o'er,
To gather in his fragrant winter store,
Humming in calm content his winter song,
Seeks not alone the rose's glowing breast,
The lily's dainty cup, the violet's lips,
But from all rank and noxious weeds he sips
The single drop of sweetness closely pressed
Within the poison chalice."
Author: Anne Charlotte Lynch Botta
About: Bees

"Oh, dainty and delicious!
Food for the gods! Ambrosia for Apicius!
Worthy to thrill the soul of sea-born Venus,
Or titillate the palate of Silenus!"
Author: William Augustus Croffut

"Fat paunches have lean pates, and dainty bits
Make rich the ribs, but backrout quite the wits."
Author: William Shakespeare
About: Eating
"The little wind that hardly shook
The silver of the sleeping brook
Blew the gold hair about her eyes,–
A mystery of mysteries.
So he must often pause, and stoop,
An all the wanton ringlets loop
Behind her dainty ear–emprise
Of slow event and many sighs."
Author: William Dean Howells
About: Hair
"Gamaun is a dainty steed,
Strong, black, and of a noble breed,
Full of fire, and full of bone,
With all his line of fathers known;
Fine his nose, his nostrils thin,
But blown abroad by the pride within;
His mane is like a river flowing,
And his eyes like embers glowing
In the darkness of the night,
And his pace as swift as light."
Author: Barry Cornwall (pseudonym of Bryan Waller Procter)
About: Horses
"It is dainty to be sick if you have leisure and convenience for it."
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson
About: Illness
"Oh, a dainty plant is the ivy green,
That creepeth o'er ruins old!
Of right choice food are his meals I ween,
In his cell so lone and cold.
. . . .
Creeping where no life is seen,
A rare old plant is the ivy green."
Author: Charles Dickens
About: Ivy
