Strikingly sweet music swirls through the gleaming, majestic room
The sparkling, diamond chandeliers glittering, golden light dances off the curling columns
Precious silk forms beautiful dresses that cascade like rippling, crystal water
Glimmering, gilded masks delicately patterned with emerald, ruby and sapphire vines vail faces
Twinkling and flashing jewels hangs round elegant necks
Bubbling amber liquid fills tall, glistening wine glasses
Beautifully carved ivory statues stare with unblinking, marble eyes on the dazzling masked ball
