orange (adj.)

Orange bright,

Like golden lamps in a green night.

Andrew Marvell (1620-1678): Bermudas.

Ah, County Guy, the hour is nigh,

The sun has left the lea.

The orange flower perfumes the bower,

The breeze is on the sea.

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832): Quentin Durward. Chap. iv.

Know'st thou the land where the lemon-trees bloom,

Where the gold orange glows in the deep thicket's gloom,

Where a wind ever soft from the blue heaven blows,

And the groves of laurel and myrtle and rose?

Goethe (1749-1832): Wilhelm Meister. Book iii. Chap. i.
