What is sweet?

Famous quotes containing the word sweet:

    Hermia. Good night, sweet friend;
    Thy love ne’er alter till thy sweet life end!
    Lysander. Amen, amen, to that fair prayer say I,
    And then end life when I end loyalty!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When one by one our ties are torn,
    And friend from friend is snatched forlorn;
    When man is left alone to mourn,
    Oh! then how sweet it is to die!
    Anna Letitia (Aikin)

    Had I but awakened from sleep
    And called her name, she had heard
    It may be, and had not stirred,
    That now, it may be, has found
    The horn’s sweet note and the tooth of the hound.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
