Careful Words

sculptured (adj.)

Round and round, like a dance of snow

In a dazzling drift, as its guardians, go

Floating the women faded for ages,

Sculptured in stone on the poet's pages.

Robert Browning (1812-1890): Women and Roses.

  Although no sculptured marble should rise to their memory, nor engraved stone bear record of their deeds, yet will their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored.

Daniel Webster (1782-1852): Eulogy on Adams and Jefferson, Aug. 2, 1826. Vol. i. p. 146.
