Examples from texts

Other shimmering flashes lit up the palace of Herod the Great facing the temple on the western hill; as they did so the golden statues, eyeless and fearful, seemed to leap up into the black sky and stretch their arms towards it.
Другие трепетные мерцания вызывали из бездны противостоящий храму на западном холме дворец Ирода Великого, и страшные безглазые золотые статуи взлетали к черному небу, простирая к нему руки.

Before I could finish the word, she made a rippling gesture with the shimmering fingers of her left hand.
