“A kiss makes the heart young again and wipes out the years.” -Rupert Brooke (1887 - 1915)
[A kiss is] “A peculiar proposition. Of no use to one, yet absolute bliss to two. The small boy gets it for nothing, the young man has to lie for it, and the old man has to buy it. The baby’s right, the lover’s privilege, and the hypocrite’s mask. To a young girl, faith; to a married woman, hope; and to an old maid, charity.” -Linus Price ‘Skipper’ Hayes (1906 - 1962): “V. P. I. Skipper” (about 1930) school paper
Kisses
There’s a kiss to say I love you,
There’s a kiss to say I care.
There’s a kiss to prove our friendship,
There’s a kiss for us to share.
There’s a kiss to say it’s always,
There’s a kiss to say it’s true.
But the kiss I loved most,
Was the kiss I got from you.

“She said out of pity for him, ‘I shall give you a kiss if you like,’ but though he once knew, he had long forgotten what kisses are, and he replied, ‘Thank you,’ and held out his hand, thinking she had offered to put something into it. This was a great shock to her, but she felt she could not explain without shaming him, so with charming delicacy she gave Peter a thimble which happened to be in her pocket, and pretended that it was a kiss.” -J. M. Barrie: “Peter & Wendy” (1911), Chapter 6
Walking up to a department store’s fabric counter, a pretty girl said, “I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?” ”Only one kiss per yard,” replied the smirking clerk. ”That’s fine,” replied the girl. “I’ll take ten yards.” With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk hurriedly measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly. The girl snapped up the package and pointed to a little old man standing beside her. “Grandpa will pay the bill,” she smiled.

Bad Dream
There was an old man of Peru,
Who dreamed he was kissing his shoe.
He woke in the night
In a terrible fright,
And found that it was perfectly true!

“You would think that, if our lips were made of horn, and stuck out a foot or two from our faces, kisses at any rate would be done for. Not so. No creatures kiss each other so much as birds.” -Thomas Buxton (Thomas Fowell Buxton (1786 - 1845))
“Send your little child to bed happy. Whatever cares press, give it a warm good-night kiss as it goes to its pillow. The memory of this in the stormy years which fate may have in store for the little one will be like Bethlehem’s star to the bewildered shepherds. “My father, my mother, - loved me!” Fate cannot take away that blessed heart-balm. Lips parched with the world’s fever will become dewy again at this thrill of youthful memories. Kiss your little child before it goes to sleep.” -Charles Bullock (1871)

Jenny Kissed Me
Jenny kiss’d me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in;
Time, you thief, who loves to get
Sweets into your list, put that in!
Say I’m weary, say I’m sad,
Say that health and wealth have missed me,
Say I’m growing old, but add
Jenny kiss’d me.
by Leigh Hunt (James Henry ‘Leigh’ Hunt (1784 - 1859)): as published in the ”Monthly Chronicle” (November 1838)
