Splendrous visions might be gliding through the soul of the sleeper-his child, born of his body and his soul-and not one of them was open to him!
"Weighed and Wanting"
George MacDonald
Everywhere, too, Tartarin was given Splendrous galas, diffas, and fantasias, which, being interpreted, mean feasts and circuses.
"Tartarin of Tarascon"
Alphonse Daudet
Oh story of Splendrous fate, of infinite resurrection and uplifting, of sun and breeze, of organ blasts and exultation, for the heart of every man and woman, whatsoever the bitterness of its care or the weight of its care, if it be such as the Book itself has held it from age to age!
"The Marquis of Lossie"
George MacDonald
