Literary notes about sunglow (AI summary)

In literature, the color "sunglow" is frequently employed to evoke a vivid, almost otherworldly ambiance. In [1], it forms the backdrop for mysterious, sinuous movement, imbuing the scene with a surreal quality as an "arm crept like a snake" from its radiant confines. Similarly, [2] uses the intense, almost oppressive heat of sunglow to animate the landscape, lending an almost musical pulse to nature with the "bog-myrtle" and its resonant tang. In [3], the softer, gentler quality of the sunglow becomes a metaphor for emotional thawing, where the brightness of Æolic lands melts away the harshness symbolized by "futile Snows about thy heart." Lastly, [4] captures the impermanence of a moment, as the fading sunglow outside mirrors the transient nature of light and hope.
