“For she is a fair maiden, fairest lady of a house of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had turned its sap to ice, and so it stood, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die?”
J.R.R. Tolkien
“If you have tried everything but not successful yet, try Jesus!”

“There's not a modest maiden elf / But dreads the final Trumpet, / Lest half of her should rise herself, / And half some sturdy strumpet!”
Thomas Hardy
“She is not fair to outward view / As many maidens be; / Her loveliness I never knew / Until she smiled on me.”
Hartley Coleridge
“Have you no modesty, no maiden shame,No touch of bashfulness?”
William Shakespeare
“I've banged my head quite a bit. I liked Iron Maiden, Ozzy, AC/DC. And of course, Ratt and Poison.”
Cameron Diaz
“Underneath an apple-treeSat a maiden and her lover;And the thoughts within her heYearned, in silence, to discover.Round them danced the sunbeams bright,Green the grass-lawn stretched before themWhile the apple blossoms whiteHung in rich profusion o'er them.”
Will Carleton
