Where did you get that pearly ear?
God spoke and it came out to hear. [ George MacDonald ]

Without the bed her other fair hand was,
On the green coverlet; whose perfect white
Showed like an April daisy on the grass,
With pearly sweat, resembling dew of night. [ William Shakespeare ]

Pearly pride is like the passing flower, that springs to fall, and blossoms but to die. [ H. K. White ]

Decay and disease are often beautiful, like the pearly tear of the shellfish and the hectic glow of consumption. [ Thoreau ]
