... Troad together. Away from our people and our horses, we went loitering along the plains of Troy by the willowy banks of a stream which I could see was finding itself new channels from year to year, and flowed no longer in its ancient track.

... her hat had fallen back, revealing her lofty and pellucid brow, and the dark and lustrous locks that were braided over her temples.

Although the lady could scarcely have seen eighteen summers, her stature was above the common height; but language cannot describe the startling symmetry of her ...
