refulgent meaning

Quotations: Germaine Greer – There has come into existence, chiefly in America, a breed of men who claim to be feminists. They imagine that they have understood ”what women want” and that they are capable of giving it to them. They help with the dishes at home and make their own coffee in the office, basking the while in the refulgent consciousness of virtue. Such men are apt to think of the true male feminists as utterly chauvinistic.

Alexander Pope – As when the moon, refulgent lamp of night, O’er heaven’s clear azure spreads her sacred light, When not a breath disturbs the deep serene, And not a cloud overcasts the solemn scene; Around her throne the vivid planets roll, And stars unnumbered gild the glowing pole, O’er the dark trees a yellower verdure shed, And tip with silver every mountain’s head; Then shine the vales, the rocks in prospect rise, A flood of glory bursts from all the skies.

John Dryden – Thus having said, she turned, and made appear Her neck refulgent, and dishevelled hair, Which, flowing from her shoulders, reached the ground, And widely spread ambrosial scents around. In length of train descends her sweeping gown; and, by her graceful walk, the Queen of Love is known.

Julia Kristeva – When the starry sky, a vista of open seas, or a stained-glass window shedding purple beams fascinate me, there is a cluster of meaning, of colours, of words, of caresses, there are light touches, scents, sighs, cadences that arise, shroud me, carry me away, and sweep me beyond the things I see, hear, or think, The “sublime” object dissolves in the raptures of a bottomless memory. It is such a memory, which, from stopping point to stopping point, remembrance to remembrance, love to love, transfers that object to the refulgent point of the dazzlement in which I stray in order to be.

Karen Joy Fowler – There are moments in history that seem like a mist, as if what really happens matters less than what should have happened. The mists lift suddenly and there we are my good parents and their good children, their grateful children who phone for no reason but to talk, say their good-nights with a kiss, and look forward to home on the holidays. I see how, in a family like mine, love doesn’t have to be earned and it can’t be lost. Just for a moment I see us that way; I see us all. Restored and repaired. Reunited. Refulgent.
