I cook and wash, cook and wash. When I am done, the kitchen is like a mirror.
I want a brighter word than bright
The shining. It was a good name, a comforting name, because she had always thought of it as a dark thing.
My skin is 24 karat gold when a sun hit it.
Yes, light, there is no other word for it.
Brighter than Parian marble.
We saw … shrines in these cities that looked like gleaming white towers and castles: a marvelous sight.
Whatever is gold does not glitter. A gentle radiance belongs to the noblest metal.
