- "Frail, of middle height, shy and intense, with large brown eyes, auburn hair and a mischievous sense of humor, Sara Teasdale made many friends among the literati." https://books.google.it/books…
- "Her hair has been described variously as auburn and sandy, but a lock of it, preserved, is a light reddish-brown with glinting highlights of red and gold. 'It isn't a very aggressive color' she wrote to John Myers O'Hara, 'in fact it looks almost brown sometimes, tho' it flames very much in the sunlight; and - I'm afraid there's no denying it - it is surely red'." https://books.google.it/books…
