Famous Nora Perry Quotes

“Who knows the thoughts of a child?”

Nora Perry

Who Knows?, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

“They sat and combed their beautiful hair,
Their long, bright tresses, one by one,
As they laughed and talked in the chamber there,
After the revel was done.”

After the Ball, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

“Tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied her raven ringlets in;
But not alone in the silken snare
Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied a young man’s heart within.”
