Born in the neighborhood of Avignon, the young Provencal whose name we have just mentioned was of middle height, well-proportioned, and rather stout; the tone of his skin had no brilliancy; it was neither livid nor dead-white, nor colored, but gelatinous,-that word can alone give a true idea of the flabby, hueless envelope, beneath which were concealed nerves that were less vigorous than capable of enormous resistance at certain given moments.
"The Lesser Bourgeoisie"
Honore de Balzac
His form was worn with mortification and fast, and his face was hueless and livid, with the perpetual struggle between zeal and flesh.
"Harold, Book 10. The Last Of The Saxon Kings"
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
And we gazed, till slowly disappearing, Like a day-dream, passed the pageant by, And I saw but those lone hills, uprearing Dull dark shapes against a hueless sky.
