Stained
 
Stained like pale honey oozed from topmost rocks
Sun-bleached the lifelong summer.
            —Robert Browning		  1
  Stained, like meerschaum, through and through.
            —Oliver Wendell Holmes		  2
    Stain’d, as meadows yet not dry,
With miry slime left on them by a flood.
            —William Shakespeare		  3
