The unearthliness of her beauty likewise disappeared, a slight colour displacing the almost marbly whiteness of her cheek.

I felt certain that for weeks she had never walked in her sleep. She was beyond my power, and I was glad of it.
The white portico the palace-like, tall, round columns, spotless as snow the walls also the tender and soft moonlight, flooding the pale marble, and making peculiar faint languishing shades, not shadows everywhere a soft transparent hazy, thin, blue moon-lace, hanging in the air the brilliant and extra-plentiful clusters of gas, on and around the facade, columns, portico, &c. everything so white, so marbly pure and dazzling, yet soft the White House of future poems, and of dreams and dramas, there in the soft and copious moon the gorgeous front, in the trees, under the lustrous flooding moon, full of realty, full of illusion the forms of the trees, leafless, silent, in trunk and myriad angles of branches, under the stars and sky the White House of the land, and of beauty and night sentries at the gates, and by the portico, silent, pacing there in blue overcoats stopping you not at all, but eyeing you with sharp eyes, whichever way you move.

She was about twenty years of age; rather above the middle height, and rather slight in form; her complexion white rather than pale, her face being only less white than the deep marbly whiteness of her arms. Her eyes were large, and full of liquid night a night throbbing with the light of invisible stars. Her hair seemed raven-black, and in quantity profuse.
All this had taken but a second, but the brain works quickly, and even as he gathered himself for the spring he saw the sand below him lying so marbly level shake and shiver in an odd way. A sudden fear overcame him; his knees failed, and instead of jumping he slid miserably down the rock, scratching his bare legs as he went.
