“Let us have "sweet girl graduates" by all means. They will be none the less sweet for a little wisdom; and the "golden hair" will not curl less gracefully outside the head by reason of there being brains within.”
"Emancipation — Black and White" (1865)

“Can we see thee, and not remember
Thy sun-brown cheek and hair sun-golden,
O sweet September?”
The Golden Land
Context: Kiss and cling to them, kiss and leave them,
Bright and beguiling:—
Bright and beguiling, as She who glances
Along the shore and the meadows along,
And sings for heart's delight, and dances
Crowned with apples, and ruddy, and strong:—
Can we see thee, and not remember
Thy sun-brown cheek and hair sun-golden,
O sweet September?
“To live with them is far less sweet
Than to remember thee.”
I saw thy Form.
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)
“OK, let's make some sweet, bunty little smubbles.”
