Flush

Flushed to radiance where they stood,
Like statues by the open tomb
Of shining saints half risen.
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Flushed … like a rose.
—Aubrey De Vere

Rosy flushes, like warm dreams of love.
—Frances Anne Kemble

Flushes, like some young Hebe’s lip.
—Thomas Moore

Have ne’er by shame been taught to blush,
Like vernal roses in the sun flush.
—Thomas Moore

Flushed as one afire with wine.
—Algernon Charles Swinburne
