Dimples

Dimples are small natural indentations in the flesh on a part of the human body, especially in the cheek or on the chin. In some societies, they are considered an attractive feature. Quotes Seek in that cheek for the dimples that hideQuite from the sight; then a moment descried,Fly from your eye, half confessed, half denied. Anonymous, "Borne on the Blue Ægean" (c. 1900), in Poetica Erotica, ed. T. R. Smith (1922), p. 252 Then did she lift her hands unto his chin,And praised the pretty dimpling of his skin. Francis Beaumont, Salmacis and Hermaphroditus (1602), line 661 She smiled, and more of pleasure than disdainWas in her dimpled chin and liberal lip. Walter Savage Landor, from Gebir (1798), Book I She had the mouth that smiles in repose. The lips met full on the centre of the bow and thinned along to a lifting dimple. George Meredith, The Egoist (1879), describing Clara Middleton ... Adonis smiles as in disdain,That in each cheek appears a pretty dimple;Love made those hollows; if himself were slain,He might be buried in a tomb so simple;  Foreknowing well, if there he came to lie,  Why, there Love lived and there he could not die. William Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis (1593), line 242 The dimples inHer cheeks and chinAre snares which Love hath set,And I have fallen in!
