He showed himself, as he stood holding the door ajar, a lank little figure, dressed with reckless slovenliness in a suit of old-fashioned black; a loose neck-cloth fell stringing down his shirt front, which his unbuttoned waistcoat exposed, with its stains from the tobacco upon which his thin little jaws worked mechanically, as he stared into the room with Flamy blue eyes; his silk hat was pushed back from a high, clear forehead; he had yesterday's stubble on his beardless cheeks; a heavy moustache and imperial gave dash to a cast of countenance that might otherwise have seemed slight and effeminate.
"Annie Kilburn A Novel"
W. D. Howells
The Flamy light flung itself up into the calm zenith; there it met the still heaven-color, and the sky was tender with saffron-touched blue.
"The Other Girls"
Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney
But Hesper, guardian of Hesperia's right, From his far heaven looks thro the rayless night; And, stung to vengeance at the unequal strife, To save her host, in jeopardy of life, Starts from his throne, ascends his Flamy car.
"The Columbiad"
Joel Barlow
