Example Sentences

"Wakes within, the ancient mind For a gloriousness defined: As she sought and knew your pleasure,-- Wiling with a dancing measure, Underneath your closed eyes She calls the shapes of clouded skies; White forms flushing hyacinthine Twine in curvings labyrinthine; Seem with godlike graceful feet, For such mazy motion meet, To press from air each lambent note, On whose throbbing fire they float; With an airy wishful gait On each others' motion wait; Naked arms and vesture free Fill up the dance of harmony."
"These two variegated, great goddesses striving for gloriousness, the golden ones who move crookedly, have approached thy sacrificial grass."
"Said the artist, "I'm celebrating the gloriousness of putrefaction.""
