Eloquently, vividly, and in glowing colours were the riches that awaited the warriors in the far East described: immense spoil would be taken from the unbelievers. Preachers did not even shrink from extolling the beauty of the women in the lands to be conquered. This fact recalls Muhammed's promise to his believers that they would meet the ever-beautiful dark-eyed houris in the life after death.
The cosy nooks at the head of the many small bays constitute most admirable pictures, filled in as they are with the ever-beautiful feathery palms and broad green plantain fronds. These nooks have all been taken possession of by fishermen, and their conically beehive- shaped huts always peep from under the frondage.
Steering in the opposite direction, you might go around the Point, and piercing the recesses of the ever-beautiful arm of the sea, find a perfect picnic ground at its farthest bend; or, crossing the harbour, there were lovely spots to be secured on the big, tree-clad island that well-nigh filled the harbour mouth. This year it had been decided to hold the picnic at the head of the arm.
"And in no time at all I shall be thirty and entering upon a terrible period of spinsterhood!" "Spinsterhood!" he scoffed. "Why, whenever the Society papers are at a loss for a paragraph, they report a few more offers of marriage to the ever-beautiful Lady Cynthia." "Don't be sarcastic," she begged. "I haven't yet had the offer of marriage I want, anyhow."
He saw the sunny smile that brightened her beloved, ever-beautiful face, and then then his own name reached his ears from the lips to which he owed the greatest bliss love had ever offered.

Embrace me, darling! This grimy episode is over; the butterfly unfolds its painted wings. To-morrow Casimir will come; in a week we may be in Paris happy at last! You shall have diamonds.
There was nothing disgusting or painful in it, but still it was an imperfection, causing an instinctive compassion an involuntary "Poor little creature, what a pity!" Such was the child the last daughter of the ever-beautiful Rothesay line which Elspie led to claim the paternal embrace. Olive looked up at her father with her wistful, pensive eyes, in which was no childish shyness only wonder.
"You must know, dear Devils and ever-beautiful Blowens, that three days ago, when I was lying in the kennel, which is my humour, and staring at the sky, which is my recreation I speak, honest citizen, but in parable or allegory, a dear device with the schoolmen I saw between me and Heaven the face of a lady, the loveliest face I ever saw."
Instead of painting the faces of those who were perhaps without character or attractiveness, he painted the fresh and ever-beautiful face of nature. The field of his employment in this respect was almost inexhaustible.
He was too helpless to be moved afterwards; yet would still creep, now and then, from his bed to the window, looking down upon the ever-beautiful world, which he knew he was leaving now, and which he was not loth to leave, though he loved it so much. Towards noon on the 20th of May, the poet closed his eyes for ever.
