My sentence:

God's pngt peaking over the horizon, the Pleiades rise silent, sparkling, shimmering - heaven's diamonds.

It is Mars versus Antares: who will blaze the reddest, be the bravest, slay Draco the dragon?

Other Examples:

"The injured captain, lying in the bow, was at this time buried in that profound dejection and indifference which comes, temporarily at least, to even the bravest and most enduring when, willy-nilly, the firm fails, the army loses, the ship goes down."

Stephen Crane, "The Open Boat"

After the sinking of the steamer Commodore, four survivors are rowing for their lives in a small boat through rough seas. The injured captain, whose mind was "rooted deep in the timbers" of his sunken ship, is in mourning.

"Then the captain in the bow, chuckled in a way that expressed humor, contempt,

tragedy, all in one."

Stephen Crane, "The Open Boat"

The captain expresses contempt for optimism expressed by other members of the small boat, which is being tossed from the top of one wave to the bottom of the next.
