Literary notes about ghostly silver (AI summary)
In literature, ghostly silver often emerges as an ethereal hue that transforms natural landscapes into realms of mystery and subtle beauty. For instance, it is used to tint boughs and bushes in moonlight, lending a quiet, otherworldly shimmer to the scene [1]. Similarly, trunks and branches become veiled in ghostly silver (or gray), blurring the line between reality and imagination [2]. In another evocative depiction, ribbons of mist weave through alders and marshes, their cloaking ghostly silver adding to the transient, spectral atmosphere of the natural world [3].
- Not a single human being would have been visible to an ordinary eye there in the moonlight, which tipped boughs and bushes with ghostly silver.
