Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how misty appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day, To claim our lonf-forgotten gold. The pines were roaring on the height, The winds were moaning in the night. The fire was red, it flaming spread; The trees like torches blazed with light.
