His eye, as I have often said, was a black eye: it had now a tawny, nay, a bloody light in its gloom; and his face flushed olive cheek and hueless forehead received a glow as from spreading, ascending heart-fire: and he stirred, lifted his strong arm he could have struck Mason, dashed him on the church-floor, shocked by ruthless blow the breath from his body but Mason shrank away, and cried faintly, "Good God!"
His books were thrown aside for awhile, because she was not there to question him as to their contents, and the flowers were hueless and scentless, since the eye that loved so to look upon them, and the sense that delighted so in their sweet odor were gone. Willie, too, missed the gentle cousin that bore his caprices so patiently, and he murmured at the decree that banished her from his presence.
For his father, like all Welshmen, loved the mountains. Yet here he lived, exhorting, ministering, aiding, supported up to high good cheer by some, it seemed, superhuman backbone of uprightness; his religious faith? Well, if so, the thing might be studied. But things of the frozen senses, lean and hueless things, were as repellent to Gower's imagination as his father's dishes to an epicure.
Like Goethe, he lived out all his life; and his eightieth birthday was cheered both by public and private expressions of reverence and affection. Of Tennyson's last three years on earth we may think, in his own words, that his "Life's latest eve endured Nor settled into hueless grey."
While great and small were rejoicing over the grand old knight's bounty he himself would ever stand apart, and his calm, hueless countenance expressed no change.

Silent the playful Muse the rosy hours Halt in their dance; and the May-breathing flowers Fall from the sister-graces' waving hair. Sweet-mouthed Apollo breaks his golden lyre, Hermes, the wand with many a marvel rife; The veil, rose-woven, by the young desire With dreams, drops from the hueless cheeks of life.
Lawkins' skilful ministry had stanched the blood and Madeleine's head and arm were bound up; but still she lay like some lovely statue, her lips apart and hueless, her eyes closed, and the dark lashes sweeping her alabaster cheeks; while her long hair, still dripping with its crimson moisture, was lifted over the pillow.
