Coale used to tell me of his learning and accomplishments, and I could not help reflecting how few such medical scholars we had to show in Boston or New England. We must clear up this unilluminated atmosphere, and here, here is the true electric light which will irradiate its darkness.
Such names shone brightly in the darkness, with black spaces of unilluminated emptiness about them, as stars shine in the night; but now now it was different; now it was dawn the real dawn. "The women are taking it up," said Miss Miniver; "the women and the common people, all pressing forward, all roused." Ann Veronica listened with her eyes on the fire.
It is, in fact, chiefly by his style in these latter things, his extensive unilluminated knowledge of Greek and Latin, and his greater costliness, that he differs from a young carpenter or clerk. A young carpenter or clerk of the same temperament would have no narrower prejudices nor outlook, no less capacity for the discussion of broad questions and for imaginative thinking.
"Take her for a supplement." "You like her?" "In love with her! I can imagine life-long amusement in her company. Attend to my advice: prize the porcelain and play with the rogue." Sir Willoughby nodded, unilluminated. There was nothing of rogue in himself, so there could be nothing of it in his bride.
Such a priceless treasure as this might have been the quite unliterary and unromantic diary of any say, Mr. James Simpson of any house number in any respectable side street in Regents Park, or St. Johns Wood or Hampstead. One can easily imagine him, sitting in his small, comfortable parlour and bending over his blotting-pad in unilluminated cheerful absorption after his day's work.

To say the truth, he questioned within himself whether it were not better to get as quickly as he could out of the vicinity; and, at any rate, not to put anything of earnest in what had hitherto been nothing more than a romance to him.

'You hear Eugene? said Lightwood, over his shoulder. 'You are deeply interested in lime. 'Without lime, returned that unmoved barrister-at-law, 'my existence would be unilluminated by a ray of hope.
The glare of our own atmosphere alone hides the appendages of the sun from our daily view. To a spectator on an airless planet, the central globe would appear attended by all its splendid retinue of crimson prominences, silvery corona, and far-spreading zodiacal light projected on the star-spangled black background of an absolutely unilluminated sky.
And since we did not see it through air, its outline was bright and sharp, there was no glow or halo about it, and the star-dust that covered the sky came right to its very margin, and marked the outline of its unilluminated part.
How was it that a woman whom he encountered so often, a very angel of mercy, could do the things he was doing, tramping about in the misery and squalor of the great city day and night, her path unilluminated by a ray from the future life? Perhaps he had been remiss in his duty. Perhaps he was letting a vague philanthropy take the place of a personal solicitude for individual souls.
