Edmond Rostand Kissing Quotations

A kiss, when all is said, what is it? A rosy dot placed on the 'I' in loving; Tis a secret told to the mouth instead of to the ear.

A kiss is a rosy dot placed on the "i" in loving.

A kiss, when all is said, what is it? An oath that's given closer than before; A promise more precise; the sealing of Confessions that till then were barely breathed; A rosy dot placed on the i in loving.

After all, what is a kiss? A vow made at closer range, a more precise promise, a confession that contains its own proof, a seal placed on a pact that has already been signed; it's a secret told to the mouth rather than to the ear.

And if kisses in these words could travel too, Madam, you'd read this letter with your lips.

Your neck. I want to kiss it.

A kiss is a secret which takes the lips for the ear.
