Read this line from "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe:

The silken hair, too, had been suffered to grow all unheeded, and as, in its wild gossamer texture, it floated rather than fell about the face, I could not, even with effort, connect its Arabesque expression with any idea of simple humanity.

Fell, simple

Grow, humanity

Silken, floated
