Showing through the frankly human loveliness of Giorgione's women there is after all a higher spirituality, a deeper intimation of that true, that clear-burning passion, enveloping body and soul, which transcends all exterior grace and harmony, however exquisite it may be in refinement of voluptuousness.
"I will go," the Master answered. "Lead the way!" The Olema beckoned one of the Maghrabis, who delivered a torch of some clear-burning, resinous, and perfumed material into his hand. "Come," bade the old man, and gestured toward the steps of gold. Together, in silence, they mounted toward the dim, high-arched roof.
As we approached famous and formidable Plum Point, darkness fell, but that was nothing to shudder about in these modern times. For now the national government has turned the Mississippi into a sort of two- thousand-mile torchlight procession. In the head of every crossing, and in the foot of every crossing, the government has set up a clear-burning lamp.
She had been haunted at moments by the image, by the danger, of his disapproval and had wondered a consideration she had never paid in equal degree to any one else whether he would like what she did. It was in no degree a matter of his "advantages" it was a matter of the spirit that sat in his clear-burning eyes like some tireless watcher at a window.
"In a little room, scantily furnished, lighted, not from the window, for it was dark without, and the shutters were closed, but from the peaked flame of a small, clear-burning lamp, sat a young man, with his back to the lamp and his face to the fire.

There was a clear-burning fire in the highly polished steel-grate, and one of the blue and silver-gray sofas had been drawn up to it, and there, upon this sofa, lay Mollie with her hand under her cheek, sleeping like a baby. They were both touched to the heart by the mere sight of her. There was something in the perfect repose of her posture and expression that was childish and restful.
The peril of Mawg being thus removed from their path, they journeyed more swiftly; and when the next new moon was a thin white sickle in the sky, just above the line of saw-toothed hills, they came safely back to the comfortable caves and the clear-burning watch-fires of their tribe. Before the Caves of the Pointed Hills the fires of the tribe burned brightly.
My companion got down from the boulder with a grave look. 'I was just going to jump when you spoke, he said. 'Lucky I didn't. I wonder how deep it is? We hunted about for a stone, and by and by found one about the size of a man's head. This the youngster tossed over the boulder into the darkness, and we stood looking at each other, by the little clear-burning light of the wax match.
I made bold to yawn, but Alderling did not mind that, and then I made bold to say that I thought I would go to bed. He followed me indoors, saying that he would go to bed, too.
