The Magic of a Kiss

Photobucket
  • In the classic 17th century fairy story Sleeping Beauty, Prince charming awakens the sleeping princess with a kiss.
  • Tradition has it that any woman who kisses the armor-clad statue of the 16th century Italian soldier Guidarello Guidarelli, would marry and settle down with a wonderful gentleman. It is estimated that over 5 million woman have done so.
  • According to legend, any person who kisses the Blarney Stone in the 15th century Blarney Castle in Cork, will be endowed with the gift of eloquence and persuasive flattery. The Blarney Stone is a stone set in the wall of the Blarney Castle tower in the Irish Village of Blarney. The castle was built in 1446 by Cormac Laidhiv McCarthy (Lord of Muskerry).
  • In the traditional fairy tale The Frog Prince (or the Frog King) a kiss from the princess turns an enchanted frog into a prince. This lead to the saying, "you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince".
  • In 18th century England it was believed the mistletoe could make or break a woman's marital prospects. A mistletoe in England would be hanging in a doorway in the shape of a ball. It would be brightly decorated and otherwise enticing. A woman standing under such an irresistible ornament would just have to be kissed! However, if for some reason no one kisses the woman under the mistletoe, she would not be free to marry for at least a year! The origin of the belief that the mistletoe had magical powers, began in pre-Christian Europe. It was said to have the power to ward off theft from fairies, unlock the secrets of dreams and to promote fertility. So, if there is mistletoe, do kiss!

Quotes on Kisses

The sunlight claps the earth And the moonbeams kiss the sea: What are all these kissings worth If thou kiss not me? ~Percy Bysshe Shelley

A man had given all other bliss, And all his worldly worth for this, To waste his whole heart in one kiss Upon her perfect lips. ~Lord Tennyson

The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender. ~Emil Ludwig

The moment eternal - just that and no more - When ecstasy's utmost we clutch at the core While cheeks burn, arms open, eyes shut, and lips meet! ~Robert Browning

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves. ~Albert Einstein

'Twas not my lips you kissed, but my soul. ~Judy Garland

Writers have previously placed the action of kissing into categories: kisses of love, affection, peace, respect and friendship. Each of the essays in this fascinating book takes a single kind of kiss and uses it as an index to the past. For rather than offering a simple history of the kiss, this book is about the kiss in history. In this collection, an eminent group of cultural historians explore the kiss through sources as diverse as religious texts, popular prints, court depositions, periodicals, diaries and poetry. This collection shows that by analyzing the kiss and its position--embedded as it is as part of our culture--history can use small gestures to take us to big issues concerning ourselves and others, the past and the present.
