This week's theme is Character Description
Here's mine from: Savage Beauty: The Life of Edna St. Vincent Millay by Nancy Milford (p. 271):
[Edna St. Vincent Millay wore] a robe of gold and bronze and green and her voice was a bronze bell as she read. Back and forth she moved, slender, by turn gay and grave, pompous and flippant. Her robe, because it was traced with gold threads woven into its pattern, whispered and chimed faintly against the floor. If Miss Millay had not been a poet she could easily have been an actress...
[She was a] swiftly moving, bronze-gold figure, so slender, so competent, at times exquisitely unreal.
Oh, now I really want to read this book! Great description....
