"A troubled joy rose on her mind, like the red path of lightning on a stormy cloud!'
Metaphor in Context
The daughter of Nua¨th went to the cave. A troubled joy rose on her mind, like the red path of lightning on a stormy cloud--Her soul was resolved, and the tear was dried from her wildly-looking eye.--Dunrommath slowly approached. He saw the son of Morni. Contempt contracted his face, a smile is on his dark-brown cheek; his red eye rolled, half-concealed, beneath his shaggy brows.
