The term “glint” frequently appears in literature as a way to capture a fleeting flash of light that is rich with emotional or symbolic resonance. Authors use it to describe not only the literal sparkle of a reflective surface—a tiny burst of sunlight on brass or gold [1, 2, 3]—but also the subtle gleam in a character’s eyes that hints at inner emotions like defiance, hope, or melancholy [4, 5, 6]. It can mark moments of transformation or revelation, such as a spark of determination amid peril [7, 8] or to underscore the barely perceptible shift in a mood or setting [9, 10]. This versatile word enriches the narrative by merging the tangible with the psychological, offering an evocative detail that deepens both scene and character.
