“The world globes itself in a drop of dew.”

“On the tongue of such an one they shed a honeyed dew, and from his lips drop gentle words.”

“Stop and consider! life is but a day;
A fragile dew-drop on its perilous way
From a tree’s summit.”

“I am, gay creature,
With pardon of your deities, a mushroom
On whom the dew of heaven drops now and then.”

“What precious drops are those
Which silently each other's track pursue,
Bright as young diamonds in their infant dew?”

“YOU are the big drop of dew under the lotus leaf,
I am the smaller one on its upper side,'
said the dewdrop to the lake.”

“But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling, like dew, upon a thought produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions think.”

“The sun has spurned his flower and let her wilt.
The flower's wilted, as the sun won't shine.
Wilted, she drops her petals by the wall—
I've often watched them drop on dew-cold nights.”

“As he drank, little brown drops of coffee clung to his mustache like dew. Men will live like billy goats if they are let alone.”

“Corruption is a tree, whose branches are
Of an immeasurable length: they spread
Ev'rywhere; and the dew that drops from thence
Hath infected some chairs and stools of authority.”
