Djuna Barnes amusing short story The Terrible Peacock (1914) details the brief undoing of city reporter Karl, who is despatched by his editor in search of a woman more dangerous than Cleopatra, thirty-nine times as alluring as sunlight on a gold eagle, and about as elusive. This woman with electrifying green eyes and bright red hair, who has been allegedly setting hearts and eyes fluttering in Brooklyn, is always outfitted in slinky green silk, found at first by Karl clad in a dress that undulated like troubled, weed-filled water as she moved. He immediately falls for this Aphrodite of the Sea-Foam, all but forgetting about his date with Lilac Jane."
