But as for taking you with me, Gleameil - women die too easily in Tormance. I have only just now washed myself clean of the death blood of another woman."
Gleameil laughed, but said nothing. "Now go to sleep," said Polecrab. "When the time comes, I will take you across myself."
He lay down again, and closed his eyes. Maskull followed his example; but Gleameil remained sitting erect, with her legs under her. "Who was that other woman, Maskull?" she asked presently. He did not answer, but pretended to sleep.英文原著 · 《A Voyage to Arcturus》
Dicky caught a faint gleam of steel from the folds of her mantilla. For once she looked in his face and saw it without a smile, stern, menacing and purposeful. Then he suddenly raised his hand and his smile came back like a gleam of sunshine. The hoarse signal of an incoming steamer's siren sounded in the harbor. Dicky called to the sentry who was pacing before the door: "What steamer comes?"英文原著 · 《Cabbages and Kings》
All these years I might, if I had tried harder, have been something to my mother. I might have managed it. I thought--at least I felt-- that she didn't encourage me. But I was a beast to have been discouraged. And now her wanting me has come just when it isn't her unclouded self that wants me. It's as if--as if it had been raining all day, and just on sunset there comes a gleam in the west. And so soon after it's night."
"You made the gleam," said Sylvia. "But so late; so awfully late."
Suddenly he stood stiff, listening to some sound which at present she did not hear.英文原著 · 《Michael》
The World of Fashion is, for the most part, a desert island of gleaming sands, at times fanned by perfume-laden zephyrs and lapped by shining waters. Then those who dwell there disport themselves, careless of all save the lapping, shining waters and the gleaming sands out of which they build their sand castles with such concentrated eagerness and such painful industry. At other times there come tempests, sudden and out of clear skies, which sweep, with ruthless besom, castles and castle-builders alike, and leave desolation and empty spaces for a time.英文原著 · 《The Doctor》
