Glowing

Famous quotes containing the word glowing:

“The sensation of seeing extremely fine women, with superb forms, perfectly unconscious of undress, and yet evidently aware of their beauty and dignity, is worth a week’s seasickness to experience.... To me the effect [of a Siva dance] was that of a dozen Rembrandts intensified into the most glowing beauty of life and motion.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

“A low man
will trade his shawl
for an ox
in the dead of winter,
looking at the breasts
of that dusky girl
as if they’re glowing coals.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“Say what they will of the glowing independence one feels in the saddle, give me the first morning flush of your cheery pedestrian!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
