Let us make you understand just how pretty Eva was! She was a golden girl with hair like honey. Her eyes were blue–or they were green–or they were violet or gold and they held a twinkle that melted a man. The legs of the creature were like Greek poetry and the motion of her hips was something that went out of the world with the old sail ships. Her breastwork had a Gothic upsweep–her neck was passion incarnate and her shoulders were of a glory past describing. In her whole person she was a study of celestial curvatures.
R.A. Lafferty, from “Parthen”
