Their iron-driven ultra-generators threw out screens of the Nevians' own formulae, screens of prodigious power to which the energies of the amphibians clung and at which they clawed and tore in baffled, wildly coruscant displays of power unthinkable.
I doubted it, even as I read the proof. Yet it was true, true that I had precedence even of the great Monsieur de Puysange, who had kept me to make him mirth on a shifty diet, first coins, then curses, these ten years past, true that my father, rogue in all else, had yet dealt equitably with my mother ere he died, true that my aunt, less honorably used by him, had shared their secret with the priest who married them, maliciously preserving it till this, when her words fell before me as anciently Jove's shower before the Argive Danae, coruscant and awful, pregnant with undreamed-of chances which stirred as yet blindly in Time's womb.
"Where did you find it?" she asked, in determined tones; "will you tell me now?" "Whom is she speaking to?" asked Mr. Axtell. I answered, "Yes, Miss Axtell, it was in here." "Where is the rest?" and her beautiful eyes were coruscant. I handed to her the last of the trophies of my first visit. She seized it eagerly. "Don't do that," said Mr. Axtell, as she lighted it from the lamp he held.
The pain grew agonizing; Lanyard's breath was almost completely shut off; he gasped vainly, with a rattling noise in his gullet; his eyeballs started; a myriad coruscant lights danced and interlaced blindingly before them; in his ears there rang a roaring like the voice of heavy surf breaking upon a rock-bound coast.

Here, for example, is a passage from "Christ's Tears" which is not without a strangely impressive melody: "Over the Temple, at the solemn feast of the Passover, was seen a comet most coruscant, streamed and tailed forth, with glistering naked swords, which in his mouth, as a man in his hand all at once, he made semblance as if he shaked and vambrashed.
Then, amidst long ringing notes of the wild horns, and intermittent sighs of the milder wood, swept from the violins a torrent of coruscant arpeggi, and above them all I heard his tone, keen but solvent, as his bow seemed to divide the very strings with fire, and I felt as if some spark had fallen upon my fingers to kindle mine.
"Cannot give me my sister's letter?" "It was to me that it was intrusted." "And you are afraid to trust me with it?" "I am afraid to break the trust reposed in myself." Again the black roll of silent thunder gloomed on his brow; as once his sister's eyes had been, his now were coruscant. "Do you refuse to give it to me?" he demanded. "I do," I said, "now, and until Miss Lettie says, 'Give."
"Boy," repeated Content, "I ask thee why thy people seek our blood?" The passage of the electric spark is not more subtle, nor is it scarcely more brilliant, than was the gleam that shot into the dark eye of the Indian. The organ seemed to emit rays coruscant as the glance of the serpent.
