samoritan commented on the word evanescence
Emily Dickinson used this word to refer to the delicate shine of color in a hummingbird:
A route of evanescence
With a revolving wheel;
A resonance of emerald,
A rush of cochineal;
And every blossom on the bush
Adjusts its tumbled head, --
The mail from Tunis, probably,
An easy morning's ride.
