An alabaster brow is an often-used (or even clichéd) literary device, used particularly in romantic fiction. It describes the forehead of someone who is particularly pale, and usually young and handsome/beautiful. == Uses == Its first recorded use was in 1894, in ''The Protestation'', an ode by a British clergyman, Selwyn Image, that appeared in a collection entitled ''Poems and Carols'': :DEAR Eyes, set deep within the shade ::Of Love’s pale alabaster brow; :Of what strange substance are ye made, ::That such enchantments on me now, :Resistless, by your grace are laid? It is also famously used in ''Anne of Green Gables'', a novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery published in 1908: :Her hair was pure gold rippling back from her alabaster brow. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alabaster brow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
