Ah! the soft starlight of virgin eyes. [ Balzac ]

Resignation - a virgin with golden tears. [ Ch. Monselet ]

Forgot the blush that virgin fears impart
To modest cheeks, and borrowed one from art. [ Cowper ]

Your peaks are beautiful, ye Apennines!
In the soft light of these serenest skies;
From the broad highland region, black with pines,
Fair as the hills of Paradise they rise.
Bathed in the tint Peruvian slaves behold
In rosy flushes on the virgin gold. [ William Cullen Bryant ]

Like virgin parchment, capable of any inscription. [ Massinger ]

A youth's love is the more passionate; virgin love is the more idolatrous. [ Hare ]

The past and future are veiled; but the past wears the widow's veil, the future, the virgin's. [ Richter ]

How beautiful is sorrow when it is dressed by virgin innocence! it makes felicity in others seem deformed. [ Sir W. Davenant ]

I was always an early riser. Happy the man who is! Every morning day comes to him with a virgin's love, full of bloom and freshness. The youth of nature is contagious, like the gladness of a happy child. [ Edward Bulwer-Lytton ]

O Truth! pure and sacred virgin, when wilt thou be worthily revered? O Goddess who instructs us, why didst thou put thy palace in a well? When will our learned writers, alike free from bitterness and from flattery, faithfully teach us life? [ Voltaire ]

Every woman carries in the depths of her soul a mysterious weapon, instinct - that virgin instinct, incorruptible, which requires her neither to learn, to reason, nor to know, which binds the strong will of man, dominates his sovereign reason, and pales our little scientific tapers.
