There is an affinity between all nature, animate and inanimate: the oak, in the pride and Lustihood of its growth, seems to me to take its range with the lion and the eagle, and to assimilate, in the grandeur of its attributes, to heroic and intellectual man.
"Bracebridge Hall, or The Humorists"
Washington Irving
Bravely by his fall he came: One he led, a bull of blood Newly come to Lustihood, Fought and put his prince to shame, Snuffed and pawed the prostrate head Tameless even while it bled.
"Georgian Poetry 1913-15"
Edited by E. M. (Sir Edward Howard Marsh)
The desolation of this scene was in a measure relieved by the quick springing vegetation that had found sustenance among the decayed trunks, and in the black earth that still adhered to the matted roots; so that green foliage, and wild flowers of the most brilliant dies in sumptuous profusion, were waving and nodding over prostrate trees, which perchance a year before, had stood up in the pride of primeval Lustihood, on the mountain ridges.
