Saville's own case is not so simple. His cage is unlocked, but it is clear that even if he chooses to venture outside he will drag the thing behind him forever. Circumstances have left him maimed; a radiant older brother died of pneumonia at the age of six in the year in which Saville was born, and his parents' grief made their reactions to the new baby guarded and distant. In the life of the mind, Saville lives a surrogate boyhood. For him, as for the surrounding villagers, maturity is impossible, and hope is a kind...
...when they were married in 1630), is both the record of desire and a proclamation of God's generosity. Rubens' world was tumescent; even the eyes in his portraits, large, white, engorged with visual appetite, look like erogenous zones.

The late landscapes he painted around Chateau de Steen, his country seat out side Brussels, are an extraordinary blend of the God's-eye-view landscape of mannerist...

Her outlook will probably be much less radiant than the official Administration forecast-and thus cause for yet another round of muttering by agitated politicians...
Because of its rapid rate of growth and increased blood supply, a tumor is hotter than normal tissue and hence gives off more radiant energy. Thermography, or heat scanning, concentrates on looking for infra-red radiation to find tumors. But such waves are rapidly absorbed by bodily tissue; thus tumors that lie any distance below the skin's surface cannot be readily picked up by infra-red sensors. By contrast, microwaves-which are much longer and more penetrating-can locate tumors up to 10 cm. (4 in.) below the surface...
...Speaking of child's play, the Oxford St. Day Care Center, one of Harvard's seven, is leaving its present location because of increased radiation emanating from a cyclotron located here. If you see any radiant kids around...
