Lady, lady, should you meet, one whose ways are all discreet, one who murmurs that his wife is the lodestar of his life

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 20h

Princes, never I'd give offense, won't you think of me tenderly? Here's my strength and my weakness, gents,—I loved them until they loved me.

Love is woman's moon and sun; man has other forms of fun.

010

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

It is good to love again; scan the renovated skies, dip and drive the idling pen, sweetly tint the paling lies

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

The next time I died, they laid me deep. They spoke worn words to hallow my sleep.

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Sorrow clings to my apron-strings, I have so much to say.

011

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Love was a rose with thorns that tore us

010

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Claim a foe, or hail a friend—Bed awaits me at the end.

011

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

No more my little song comes back; And now of nights I lay. My head on down, to watch the black, and wait the unfailing gray

000

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

And what goes on, my love, while you're away...you'll never know

000

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Why is it no one ever sent me yet one perfect limousine, do you suppose?

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Satin glows in candle-light— Satin's for the proud! They will say who watch at night, 'What a fine shroud!'

000

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

he thorn, so to say, is revealed by the rose. The best that she gets is a sock in the nose

000

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Then on the world I may blazon my mark; and what if I don't, and what if I do?

010

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Because your eyes are slant and slow, because your hair is sweet to touch, my heart is high again; but oh, I doubt if this will get me much

021

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Now what should I do in this place, but sit and count the chimes, and splash cold water on my face, and spoil a page with rhymes?

Other lads, their eyes are bolder. Young they are, and strong and slim, Ned is straight and broad of shoulder, Donald has a way with him

010

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Devil-gotten sinners, throwing back their heads; fiddling for their dinners, kissing for their beds

010

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

By the time you swear you're his, shivering and sighing, and he vows his passion is infinite, undying, LADY, make a note of this: one of you is lying.

032

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

And there at night I stretch my length, and envy no one but the dead.

021

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I am not sick, I am not well. My quondam dreams are shot to hell.

010

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

And there at night I stretch my length, and envy no one but the dead.

021

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Hear them clack of my haste to greet him! No one other my mouth had kissed. I had dressed me in silk to meet him—False young Death would not hold the tryst.

000

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

It's always just my luck to get one perfect rose.

020

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Princes, never I'd give offense, won't you think of me tenderly? Here's my strength and my weakness, gents,—I loved them until they loved me.

000

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

And who's the one that cares? A trifling lot and best forgot

021

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

When you're awake, all the men go and fall for you,— Sleep, pretty lady, and give me a chance.

010

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

By the time you swear you're his, shivering and sighing, and he vows his passion is infinite, undying, LADY, make a note of this: one of you is lying.

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

We cannot rest, we never rest, within a narrow bed, who still must love the living best— who hate the drowsy dead!

011

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Scratch a lover, and find a foe!

000

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Oh, I can kiss you blithely as you go....And what goes on, my love, while you're away, you'll never know.

010

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

You will go faltering after the bright, imperious line, and split your throat on laughter, and burn your eyes with brine.

000

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Three be the things I shall never attain: envy, content, and sufficient champagne.

010

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

None walks slow, for the love that's through,— I might mention, my recent dear, I've reverted to normal, too

000

Kinder the busy worms than ever love; It will be peace to lie there, empty-eyed

020

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

This, no song of an ingénue, this, no ballad of innocence; this, the rhyme of a lady who followed ever her natural bents

011

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

And all the straining things within my heart...you'll never know

031

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Woman lives but in her lord; Count to ten, and man is bored

000

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Four be the things I am wiser to know: idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.

042

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

No more my little song comes back; And now of nights I lay. My head on down, to watch the black, and wait the unfailing gray

001

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Who flings me silly talk of May shall meet a bitter soul; For June was nearly spent away before my heart was whole.

012

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

When you're awake, all the men go and fall for you,— Sleep, pretty lady, and give me a chance.

He will leave you white with woe, if you go the way you go

001

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

It's always just my luck to get one perfect rose.

000

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Now you are finding a new joy greater,— Well, I'll be doing the same thing, too, sooner or later.

011

Dorothy Parker @dorothyparker.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I'd like to view the reeling years through unastonished eyes, and dip my finger-tips in tears, and give my smiles for sighs
