Literary notes about LIVER (AI summary)

In literary texts the term “liver” sometimes transcends its anatomical reference to evoke a distinctive, earthy hue. For example, one work describes a “pure puce‐shaded liver, without any white” ([1])—using “liver” to suggest a deep, muted brown with an almost mysterious richness. In another instance, a Gordon setter is portrayed as “liver and white” ([2]), a color scheme that not only identifies the animal’s coat but also subtly imbues the description with a natural, rugged authenticity. These sparse yet evocative uses illustrate how “liver” as a color connects imagery of nature and corporeality, enhancing the sensory detail of a narrative.
  1. Colour, pure puce-shaded liver, without any white.
    — from All About Dogs: A Book for Doggy People by Charles Henry Lane
  2. I am eight years old, and I have a Gordon setter—liver and white—just as old as I am.
    — from Harper's Young People, April 6, 1880An Illustrated Weekly by Various
