Her clay-cold lips were so white, that one sighed to remember the full beauty of their carmine.

Reverently I set about preparing those things which if all went well should restore her.
His feet were chill, And reft of sense; and we who watched him knew The fever had not wholly left his brain, For he was wandering, seeking nests of birds, An urchin from the green Ionian town Where he was born.

That those I loved might in a few days be as clay-cold as Idris in her antique tomb; nor could strength of body or energy of mind ward off the blow. A sense of degradation came over me.
