He cast a sidelong, venomous glance at the voluble speaker out of half-shut eyes; in the act they seemed to light up as with an internal luminance; momentarily they sparkled like emeralds; then their brilliance was filmed over as in the eyes of a bird when the membrane is lowered.
She looked up with a serious, sweet luminance in her eyes and he was suddenly thrilled by her glance, and moved by a desire to turn her romantic idyll into something of reality.
On on I went, a desperate idea possessing me to go as far as I could into that strange starry centre of living luminance the very boldness of the thought appalled me even while I encouraged it but step by step I went on resolutely till I suddenly felt myself caught as it were in a wheel of fire!
Hesitating no longer, I closed my eyes, then extending my clasped hands I threw myself forward and plunged into the darkness! down, down, interminably down! A light followed me like a meteoric shaft of luminance piercing the blackness I retained sufficient consciousness to wonder at its brilliancy, and for a time I was borne along in my descent as though on wings.
Whoever, in any time or under any sky, sees the worth and wonder of existence, sees it for me; whatever language he speak, whatever star he inhabit, we shall one day meet, and through the confession of his heart all my ancient possessions will become a new gain; he shall make for me a natal day of creation, showing the producing breath, as it goes forth from the lips of God, and spreads into the blue purity of sky, or rounds into the luminance of suns; the hills and their pines, the vales and their blooms, and heroic men and beauteous women, all that I have loved or reverenced, shall come again, appearing and trooping out of skies never visible before.

And I shall bask in the luminance of her smile I, cold and grey, like a burnt-out ember of perished possibilities, I shall warm my chill soul at the sweet fire of her presence I shall see her to-morrow!" He went to the hearth and stirred the smouldering logs into a bright blaze. He was just about to ring for fresh fuel, when there came a sudden, alarmed knocking at the street door.
"Old enough, at any rate, to have lost all my illusions." There was an undercurrent so bitter in the curtly uttered speech that Ann's warm young sympathies responded involuntarily. "I wish I could bring them back for you," she said impulsively. Through the flickering luminance of the lights rimming the boat's gunwale he looked at her with an odd intensity.
As you see, the lustre is perfect as clear as that of a summer moon in heaven. Yet it is a very old jewel and has seen more than a thousand years of life." We all examined the beautiful ornament, and as I held it in my hand a moment it seemed to emit tiny sparks of luminance like a flash of moonlight on rippling waves.
Another moment and they were driven off, Lucy looking out of the window at the numerous lights which twinkled from every story of the stately building they had just left, till the last bright point of luminance had vanished. Then the strain on her mind gave way and to Mrs. Sorrel's alarm and amazement, she suddenly burst into a stormy passion of tears.
