In the broken light his eyes shone with a curious luminosity of their own, absorbed, introspective.

What were called the exaggerations of his writing were due, I have no doubt, to the extraordinary luminosity of his imagination.

Laughing, Marguerite in turn wound it about herself, and the flowers, so lately plucked from the bath of hot air, where they had lain steeping in sun, flashed through the air a second, and then played all their faint spirit-like luminosity about their new wearer.

Then, as a faint plop! drifted to the watchersa sound no louder than a feeble clack of the tonguethis indefinite luminosity began to sink, to fade, falling slowly, gradually dissipating itself in the dim light over the stockade.

I think that no one will dispute that in the yellow we have the most intense luminosity, and that it fades gradually in the red on the one side and in the violet on the other.

It was almost impossible to believe, so white were the reflections of these clean walls, so white the linen, that there was not a certain interior luminosity that shone over his features.

This shows, then, that the rays of maximum luminosity must travel toward the red as the thickness of the turbid medium is increased.

This stretched practically to the horizon on all sides; the light toned down at the edges into a misty luminosity, but as the bewildered watcher stared in front of him, he saw how directly in their course there slid toward them two great patches of dark, divided by a luminous stream in the middle.

As in all the others, the eyes, even in the dead pigment, seemed to shine with an odd, fixed luminosity of their own, and like the others from first to last of the line, it bore upon it the stamp of an imperishable youth.

There was a pale luminosity about his ivory face which drew the eye towards it, and though his dress might be the plainest of a hundred, his appearance would be the first which one would notice.

Higher and higher this pallid luminosity rose overhead, and then he saw that it was a ghostly hand and arm, rising, rising.

At an altitude of 2,150 feet the air-liner slid out over the Sea, the waters of which shone in the mid-afternoon sun with a peculiar luminosity.

Words written in a state of high-wrought intensity retain a sort of phosphoric luminosity, like certain decaying substances, and even after the passage of years, and when the emotions which gave them expression are dead and for-gotten, they seem to emit life and feeling.

The luminosity of the spectrum observed at the Riffel I have used as my standard luminosity, and compared all others with it.

Without emotion his Cyclopean orb directed its gaze from one to another till, midway between the Third Hand and the Second-Engineer, it was observed to irradiate a sudden and unaccustomed luminosity.

The areas of these curves, which give the total luminosity of the light, are 761, 662, 577, 503, and 439; and if observed as astronomers observe the absorption of light, by means of stellar observations, they would have had the values, 761, 664, 578, 504, and 439a very close approximation one to the other.
