But could that ever be? Was Time, such Time as this, not Eternity? Could such earthly things as this intense joy ever have been and no longer be? It seemed to her that it could not be so. She felt like one who held Eternity's hand, and went out with that great guide into the endlessness of supreme perfection. For her, just then, the Creator's scheme was rounded to a flawless circle.
And thus waxed the fame and the power of the ape-man in the mysterious haunts of the savage jungle where he ranged, mightiest of beasts because of the man-mind which directed his giant muscles and his flawless courage. Tarzan Rescues the Moon
The cold wicked face the ironic eyes which made her creep the absurd, elderly perfection of dress even the flawless flower-made her flash quake with repulsion. If Satan came into the room, he might look like that and make one's revolting being quake so. "I thought it might be you," the strange girl's voice said to him aloud. "Robin," he said.
The frank splendor of her satins and carved jades and embroidery, her immobile striking face loaded with carmine and glinting headdress, the flawless loveliness of hands with the pointed nail protectors, were, in his room, infinitely dramatized. The other, less secure possibility that she might essentially change perished silently.
Great stores of material and munitions were concentrated at rail-heads and dumps ready to be sent up to the firing-lines, and the perfection of German organization may well have seemed flawless before the attack began. When they began they found that in "heavies" and in expenditure of high explosives they were outclassed.
Before turning the massive brass handle, Peter Ivanovitch gave his young companion a sharp, partly critical, partly preparatory glance. "No one is perfect," he murmured discreetly.

He remained with his hand on the door-handle so long that Razumov assented by a moody "No."

He had left Rome because she was no matrix for poets and artists and thinkers.
Yes, there was no mistake about that flawless complexion, those handsome features or those wondrous eyes, the mysterious depths of which had enthralled me, as they had done Omar. It was Liola! With a bound I sprang forward, tearing at the knot of savages and shouting to them to release her.
Midshipman Easy is flawless except for the amiable but surely excessive sentimentalists who are shocked at the way in which Mr. Easy père quits the greater stage by mounting the lesser. Nor were high jinks and special naval matters by any means Marryat's only province.
"Oh, don't go by as if you didn't want to speak to me," he said, and pressed a hand that slid warm out of the new muff. Standing thus in the remorseless sunshine she was really very handsome, her skin flawless, her lips as red and smooth as cherries. And yet in spite of such fineness of finish there was no magic about her, no allure, no subtlety.
