tawniness

• “mchrist on 11/6/2009: not 100% certain I had a bad bottle or not - was not corked, but something seemed off. did not get any of the pepper I typically see in CDPs. the wine did have a slight "tawniness" on the palate, with fruit that seemed mostly flat.”

• “Lange is, if anything, a big, beautiful woman — she radiates a feline, almost leonine tawniness and self-confidence, and has been admired by some crit-ics for her "lithe" presence.”

• “Beyond, hills lifted in tawniness darkened by trees and lightened by homes.”

  Starfarers

• “With a final effort he lurched through it and saw ahead of him a rising slope of ground that went up and never seemed to stop, ground covered with the beautiful tawniness of sun-dried grass, broken by rocky ledges thrusting from the slope, dotted by clumps of bushes and here and there a tree.”

  A Heritage of Stars

• “Copper-color has an excess of red, and sepia is too brown; the tarry tawniness of an old boatswain's hand is nearer the mark, but even that is less among man-of-war's men than in the merchant-service, and is least in the revenue marine; it varies, also, with the habits of the individual, and the nature of his employment for the time being.”

• “River is known are given to it by the Yellowstone -- its turbulence, its tawniness, its feline treachery, its giant caprices.”

  The River and I

• “But hills and mountains on that side showed bare and heated, though beautiful with the sunburnt tawniness of California.”

  Chapter 17

• “If the connexion of tawniness with the action of buying were to be determined from syntactical connexion -- in the same way as there is made out the connexion of the cow one year old with that action -- then the injunctory sentence would indeed enjoin two matters (and this would be objectionable).”

  The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Ramanuja — Sacred Books of the East, Volume 48

• “But such is not the case; for the one word 'arunyâ' denotes a substance characterised by the quality of tawniness, and the co-ordination in which 'arunayâ' stands to 'ekahâyanyâ' makes us apprehend merely that the thing characterised by tawniness also is one year old, but does not make a special statement as to the connexion of that quality with the thing.”

  The Vedanta-Sutras with the Commentary by Ramanuja — Sacred Books of the East, Volume 48

• “And since, as shown, the quality of tawniness connects itself with its substance (the cow) on the mere basis of the form of the words, it is wrong (on the part of the Pûrvapakshin to abandon this natural connexion and) to establish their connexion on the ground of their being otherwise incapable of serving as means of the purchase.”
