rainbow-winged

An interminable chain of these royal blossoms, red and white, wreathed by the radiant fingers of small rainbow-winged creatures as airy as moonlight mist, as delicate as thistledown!

Science fiction says it will carry you to the moon in a space-vessel made of cavorite, the anti-gravitic metal, to meet the lamp-eyed insect-men of a socialist utopia; fantasy says it will carry you to Mercury on the back of a rainbow-winged Hippogriff, to behold the wars of witches and demons, their battles made endless through the intervention of the capricious gods who dwell beyond the mountain-peaks unclimbed, save by one most noble prince, whose icy ramparts guard immortal Zimiamvia.

All the air about them was fragrant and delicate, -- tiny rainbow-winged midges whirled round and danced in the warm sunset-glow like flecks of gold in amber wine, -- while here and there the distant glimmer of tossing fountains, or the soft emerald sheen of a prattling brook that wound in and out the grounds, amongst banks of moss and drooping fern, gave a pleasant touch of coolness and refreshment to the brilliant verdure of the luxuriant landscape.

a man to foreknow its result or understand what he was passing through, would be more strange than that a caterpillar should recognise in the rainbow-winged butterfly hovering over the flower at whose leaf he was gnawing, the perfected idea of his own potential self -- I mean the change of being born again.

'cars drawn by rainbow-winged steeds Which trample the dim winds: in each there stands A wild-eyed charioteer urging their flight.
