Careful Words

breezy (adj.)

The breezy call of incense-breathing morn.

Thomas Gray (1716-1771): Elegy in a Country Churchyard. Stanza 5.

Mine be the breezy hill that skirts the down,

Where a green grassy turf is all I crave,

With here and there a violet bestrewn,

Fast by a brook or fountain's murmuring wave;

And many an evening sun shine sweetly on my grave!

James Beattie (1735-1803): The Minstrel. Book ii. Stanza 17.
