Examples
-
Byron's "Bride of Abydos" or his "Giaour;" take some such charming creature, fair and fresh-complexioned, white and pink, and plunge her in the atmosphere of the harem, which will orientalise her charms and give her that -- whatever it is -- which characterises the undulating fascinations of the sultanas.
