But the rocks here are crowded with rare Alpine flowers delicate golden auriculas with powdery leaves and stems, pale yellow cowslips, imperial purple saxifrages, soldanellas at the edge of lingering patches of the winter snow, blue gentians, crocuses, and the frail, rosy-tipped ranunculus, called glacialis. Their blooming time is brief.
Then Richard permitted himself to say quietly "You had no bad news, I hope, in those letters, Helen?" "Why should you suppose I have had bad news?" she demanded, her teeth meeting viciously in the morsel of kissing-crust she held in her rosy-tipped fingers. It was as pretty as a game to see her eat.
The incitements that were hidden in the softness and the odor of unbound and tumbled hair; the exquisiteness of maiden breasts, moulded of marble, rosy-tipped; the soft contour of snowy limbs, the rhythmic play of moving muscles to dwell amid these things, to possess them, was suddenly to discover in reality what before had only existed in the realm of painting and sculpture.
Down and down the path went, then up, and then down and then up again, getting rugged and more rugged as it went; and still along the path went the silvery thread, and still along the thread went Irene's little rosy-tipped forefinger. By and by she came to a little stream that jabbered and prattled down the hill, and up the side of the stream went both path and thread.
"I don't see why you should act so like a grand inquisitor, Kitty. You really make me feel quite nervous," said Minnie, who put her little rosy-tipped fingers to one of her eyes, and attempted a sob, which turned out a failure. "Oh, I only asked you what you told him, you know."
The grassy pathways that intersect the various holdings are gay with rosy-tipped daisies, white “star-of-Bethlehem,” dark purple grape-hyacinth, and the tiny strong-scented marigold, that seems to bloom the whole twelve-month round.
"The sun-fairies are on the vines!" murmured Greta to herself. At the old house they stopped, and Christian, breathing quickly, pushed the door; it was immovable. "Look!" said Greta, "they have screwed it!" She pointed out three screws with a rosy-tipped forefinger. Christian stamped her foot. "We mustn't stand here," she said; "let's sit on that bench and think."
By dusk there are tiny drifts in the lee of every strong shrub, rosy-tipped corollas as riotous in the sliding mesa wind as if they were real flakes shaken out of a cloud, not sprung from the ground on wiry three-inch stems. They keep awake all night, and all the air is heavy and musky sweet because of them.
In the background glimmered the still waters of a lake, while at the foot of a tree, in an attitude of tranquil repose, lay the Swan-Maiden Magda. One white, naked arm was curved behind her head, pillowing it, the other lay lightly across her body, palm upward, with the rosy-tipped fingers curled inwards a little, like a sleeping child's.
"That sideways bend you've given to your body it's wonderful! But can you stand it, do you think? Of course I'll give you rests as often as I can, but even so it will be a very trying pose to hold." Magda sat up, letting her feet slide slowly over the edge of the divan. The "feet of Aurora" someone had once called them white and arched, with rosy-tipped toes curved like the petals of a flower.
