'Twixt the cup and the lip. [ Proverb ]

Lip labour is but lost labour. [ Proverb ]

Heart on her lip and soul within her eyes. [ Byron ]

'Tis not a lip, or eye, we beauty call,
But the joint force and full result of all. [ Pope ]

Love lieth deep; Love dwells not in lip-depths;
Love laps his wings on either side the heart
Absorbing all the incense of sweet thoughts,
So that they pass not to the shrine of sound. [ Alfred Tennyson ]

In one close system of benevolence. [ Pope ]

Nay, her foot speaks. [ William Shakespeare ]

Many things fall out between the cup and the lip. [ Proverb ]

He led on; but thoughts
Seem'd gathering round which troubled him. The veins
Grew visible upon his swarthy brow,
And his proud lip was press'd as if with pain.
He trod less firmly; and his restless eye
Glanc'd forward frequently, as if some ill
He dared not meet were there. [ Willis ]

Though the mastiff be gentle, yet bite him not by the lip. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

There's a charm in delivery, a magical art,
That thrills like a kiss from the lip to the heart;
It is the glance - the expression - the well-chosen word -
By whose magic the depths of the spirit are stirred.
The lip's soft persuasion - its musical tone:
Oh! such were the charms of that eloquent one! [ Mrs. Welby ]

Oft times many things fall out between the cup and the lip. [ Greene ]

Stick to your aim; the mongrel's hold will slip. But only crow-bars loose the bull-dog's lip; Small as he looks, the jaw that never yields, Drags down the bellowing monarch of the fields. [ O. W. Holmes ]

The night is made for tenderness; so still that the low whisper, scarcely audible, is heard like music; and so deeply pure that the fond thought is chastened as it springs, and on the lip made holy. [ N. P. Willis ]

Surely you will not calculate any essential difference from mere appearances; for the light laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over brackish depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace. You know that the bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches; and how many blithe hearts dance under coarse wool! [ Chapin ]
