Clear azur blue

I'm reading The Vicomte de Bragelonne, by Alexandre Dumas. Basically, it's a fanfiction about Louis XIV!!! LOL
At chapter 8, there's a little description of the young King.

Louis was at this time endowed with all the natural gifts which make the perfect gentleman; his eye was brilliant, mild, and of a clear azure blue.  But the most skillful physiognomists, those divers into the soul, on fixing their looks upon it, if it had been possible for a subject to sustain the glance of the king, - the most skillful physiognomists, we say, would never have been able to fathom the depths of that abyss of mildness.  It was with the eyes of the king as with the immense depths of the azure heavens, or with those more terrific, and almost as sublime, which the Mediterranean reveals under the keels of its ships in a clear summer day, a gigantic mirror in which heaven delights to reflect sometimes its stars, sometimes its storms.

Clear azure blue... like Manu's eyes.


*sighs*

Awww, I'm losing my mind. Again. As usual.
