   • 1925, Cale Young Rice, “Rain in the city”, in Bitter Brew‎, Century Company, page 66:

     Flinging itself at street and store window,
     Rainy darkness suddenly drenches the city.
     Wet, globulous lights are a-glimmer thro it,
     And wet motors, that swim by seethingly.
     Thunder rumbles down on windy umbrellas;
     And the sidewalks are paved with phosphorescence
     As a quick vein of lightning spills viridly
     Over the cornice-gray of the skyscrapers.
     A traffic-cop whistles and turns his semaphore,
     In dripping rubber. Feet scurry to shelter,—
     Slenderly stockinged ankles tempting among them,
     As again the green lightning momently gushes.
