Darlings

Kill your darlings.

Men who are dandies and women who are darlings rule the world, at least they should do so.

Three peregrine falcon chicks, high up in this tower, have become social media darlings.

"Women in tiny hovels have their arms full of rosy dimpled darlings," sighed Queen Rosewhite.

But first kiss me, my darlings—a long kiss, for it is good-bye—and kiss, too, your little friends, Waldo and Silva, for in this world one may hope, but one can never be as sure as one would fain be, that good-byes are not for long.
