Quotations for cups

Counsel over cups is crazy. [ Proverb ]

I remember, I remember
The roses, red and white.
The violets, and the lily-cups
Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs, where the robin built,
And where my brother set,
The laburnum on his birthday -
The tree is living yet. [ Hood ]

Poison is drunk out of golden cups. [ Seneca ]

Whom have not flowing cups made eloquent? [ Horace ]

Then shall our names
Familiar in his mouth as household words.
Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered. [ William Shakespeare ]

A love-tint flushes the wind-flower's cheek,
Rich melodies gush from the violet's beak.
On the rifts of the rock, the wild columbines grow.
Their heavy honey-cups bending low. [ Sarah Helen Whitman ]

O kiss! mysterious beverage that the lips of lovers pour into each other, as into thirsty cups! [ A. de Musset ]
