Quotations for flush

The flush of youth soon passes from the face,
The spells of fancy from the mind depart;
The form may lose its symmetry, its grace.
But time can claim no victory over the heart. [ Mrs. Dinnies ]

Fairest of all that earth beholds, the hues
That live among the clouds, and flush the air,
Lingering and deepening at the hour of dews. [ Bryant ]

Men naturally warm and heady are transported with the greatest flush of good-nature. [ Addison ]

Oh, but books are such safe company! They keep your secrets well; they never boast that they made your eyes glisten, or your cheek flush, or your heart throb. [ Mrs. S. P. Parton ]
