"I will stay among the dead, singing my immense song." Ainadamar (David Henry Hwang, librettist) [I seem to like the word immense]
In Pagan's Scribe (Catherine Jinks), Lord Roland is described as moving "with a kind of controlled vigor." Just read that yesterday and oohed.
"...the pupils would stare at Mr. Brett and Mr. Brett would stare at the pupils, and each would be struggling with his private thoughts of the other, and only God Almighty knew which was nearer the truth." Leon Garfield, The Strange Affair of Adelaide Harris.
"Although she didn't know it, the most dangerous part of her life was over. She was to miss it, badly." Robert Westall, Blitzcat.
And of course: "...he was normally as happy as only a fluffy-minded man with excellent health and a large income can be." P.G.Wodehouse, Leave it to Psmith.
