The word "bask" is richly employed across literary works to evoke both literal and figurative warmth and pleasure. In some texts, it denotes the physical act of lying in the sun—as seals and lizards might in the sunshine (see [1] and [2])—while in others it captures the absorption of admiration or favor, such as immersing oneself in the reflected glory of a great hero ([3]) or the comforting light of a loved one’s smile ([4], [5]). It can also imply a state of indolent contentment, whether one is luxuriating in the glare of approval or the gentle glow of nature’s caress ([6], [7]). This multifaceted usage highlights how the term bridges the tangible and the metaphorical, enriching the text with the sensuous quality of warmth and light (see [8], [9]).
