yarb commented on the word traveller's joy
Though her colours were those of age they were bright as flowers. Her hair was white, but it shone like travellers' joy*, and her peering old eyes were blue as speedwell, and her shrivelled cheeks were pink as apple-blossom.
- Rebecca West, The Judge
*sic, I prefer the single traveller.
