     I felt myself turn blue then green then white, but before I succumbed to the growing onslaught of fainthood, I crawled (no joke, literally tugging at the carpet strands for leverage) back to my bed and awakened my pregnant wife.

   • 2007, Vernon Frazer, Bodied Tone - Page 102:

     Ethereal fainthood runs its flippant mileage per incarnation, whether unflowered or not. Sand feathers broth against the foolish lees. Daintily the weather assumes a much colder view.
