You remind me of red-bud, blazing star, and all those exquisite magenta shades that poets, painters, and the Almighty who made them love so much they hesitate about using them lavishly. You are so delicate and graceful and so modest. I wish she could see you! I got to stop this or I won't be able to lift a root.
They wore elastic corsets, or none at all. They were well painted; cheeks of the new tint, rather apricot coloured and magenta lips.
There a hundred umbrellas, yellow, red, mauve and magenta, lemon yellow, cadmium yellow, gold, a multi-coloured mass spread their extended bellies to a sky blue as the blouses. The brown fingers of the peasant women are tying and pressing all the miraculous bloom of the earth into the fair fingers of Saxon girls great packages of roses, pink lilies, clematis, stephanotis, and honeysuckle.

"Can you direct me to Mr. Mortlake's aeroplane factory?" she demanded in an imperious tone.
Garibaldi was a "hero," but somewhat alarming in his heroisms a "grand child," "not a man of much brain." After the victories of Magenta and Solferino came what seemed to many the great betrayal of Villafranca. For a day the busts and portraits of the French Emperor suddenly disappeared from the shop-windows of Florence, and even Mrs Browning would not let her boy wear his Napoleon medal.
