Kiss
 
  Her kisses were like tire explosions.
            —Anonymous		  1
  Kissing … is as a prologue to a play.
            —Henry Fielding		  2
The kisses of thy deathless lips,
Like strange star-pulses, throbbed through space.
            —Paul Hamilton Hayne		  3
  Kiss as close as a scallop.
            —Ben Jonson		  4
Came kissing like rich airs from secret shores
To those who sail into the eternal dawn.
            —Gerald Massey		  5
  Kisses as unctuous as oil.
            —Francis S. Saltus		  6
  Kisses like sweet, sad, subtle scents of myrrh.
            —Francis S. Saltus		  7
  Kisses are like grains of gold or silver found upon the ground, of no value themselves, but precious as showing that a mine is near.
            —George Villiers		  8
