From the novel, Exiles, by Ron Hansen, 2008, a fictional account of the life of the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins:
"Washing with Castile soap and icy water, he worried over his scrawniness, his spindle shins, the green yarns of vein in his forearms, his face so thin that his zygomatic bones and jaw shaped harps underneath his ginger-brown, one-inch beard and mustache." p 3
