There was a warmth, a sincerity in the tone which made Asako stare at her companion. But the childish face was innocent and smiling. The languid curve of the smile and the opalescence of the green eyes betrayed none of their secrets to Asako's inexperience. Reggie sat down at the piano, and, still watching the two women, he began to play. "This is the Yaé Sonata," he explained to Geoffrey.
There were no deep, glowing coals, no amethystine opalescence, fading into gold and violet. All was cold and subdued, and the scrub pines on the mountain-tops stood out sharply against this cold background like an etching on yellow paper. Mrs.
Wace assures me, were extremely circumstantial, and entirely free from any of that emotional quality that taints hallucinatory impressions. But it must be remembered that all the efforts of Mr. Wace to see any similar clarity in the faint opalescence of the crystal were wholly unsuccessful, try as he would.
And yet we accept it as natural, for this opalescence is always in the mist-laden air of the West; it enters into the soul today as it did into the soul of the ancient Gael, who called it Ildathach the many-colored land; it becomes part of the atmosphere of the mind; and I think Mr.
The ultra-microscopical vesicles filled with air in all probability give rise to the opalescence which is so marked a property of the substance. Their size is such as to scatter and throw back the rays at the blue end of the spectrum and to transmit those at the red end.
All gone, even their big notions. Their god hasn't got even a name now. Have you ever read the Companions of Columbus?" I was as surprised as though one of his dim bottles in the shadows had suddenly glowed before my eyes, become magical with moving opalescence. What right had old Pascoe to be staring like that to the land and romance of the Toltecs?
All the Thessian ships above poured the full concentration of their moleculars into its tremendous bulk. A diffused glow of opalescence ran over every ship save the giant. The moleculars were being reflected from its sides, and their diffused energy attacked the very ships that were sending them! A fort moved up, and the deadly beam of destruction reached out, luminous even in space.
Sharp, curving noses like the beaks of the giant condors; mouths thin, austere; long, powerful, pointed chins; the flesh of the faces white as the whitest marble; and wreathing up to them, covering all their bodies, the shimmering, curdled, misty fires of opalescence! Olaf stood rigid; my own heart leaped wildly. What what were these beings?
Both the Geos and the Jan smiled. But the Rhamda's voice was very sure as he replied: "If you were false, my lord, I would slay you myself." They were very near the Mahovisal now. Below was the unmistakable opalescence, somehow produced by powerful illumination, as intense as sunlight itself. The red dot was almost above the black square on the lighted chart.
A magnificent red seems to be the base of this color scheme, fading gradually to pale pink, violet, amber, even losing itself in the milky iris of the pearls and in the opalescence of the mother-of-pearl of the mollusks. The eyes of certain fish placed at the end of jaw bones separated from the body, sparkle like diamonds in the ends of a double pin.
