Examples

  • Misty, gossamered mornings, a day all blue and pale gold, bees in the ivy bloom, sprawling overblown flowers, red apples, purpling vine-clusters, clear evenings: then this smouldering moon to go to bed by!

    In a Green Shade A Country Commentary Maurice Hewlett 1892

  • So thin, so frail, so transparent she was, they thought her pure spirit, a whisp of gossamered breath, or one of those gauzy sublimations which the winter will make of a dead leaf.

    The Forest Lovers Maurice Hewlett 1892
