Examples

“I love⟳ to see⟳ the shaking twig / Dance⟳ till the shut⟳ of eve”

“And has she tired of weeping / As she lies down at eve.”

“Sitting on the dockside at Oban, watching the to-ing and fro-ing in the harbour on a perfect summer's eve, I reflect⟳ on a trip⟳ which has taken me through our busiest cities to traverse the country's main lines, as well as explore⟳ some of the furthest extremities that were literally out on a limb.”

“the eve of a scientific discovery”

“And Adam called his wife's name⟳ Eve; because she was the mother of all living.”

“After all these years, I see⟳ that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live⟳ outside the Garden with her than inside it without her.”

“The Seven Daughters of Eve; Mitochondrial Eve”

“"You were always a cynic," said Edith tolerantly. "I'm sure that Eve will want⟳ to have⟳ a baby - isn't that why we called her Eve?" "Of course not," said Herbert, as if the baby-cult had long been irritating him. "We called her Eve, or Evelyn, after your grandmother, who was going to leave⟳, and did leave⟳ us some money."”
