  Gleam \Gleam\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Gleamed; p. pr. & vb. n.
     Gleaming.]
     1. To shoot, or dart, as rays of light; as, at the dawn,
        light gleams in the east.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. To shine; to cast light; to glitter.
  
     Syn: To Gleam, Glimmer, Glitter.
  
     Usage: To gleam denotes a faint but distinct emission of
            light. To glimmer describes an indistinct and unsteady
            giving of light. To glitter imports a brightness that
            is intense, but varying. The morning light gleams upon
            the earth; a distant taper glimmers through the mist;
            a dewdrop glitters in the sun. See Flash.
            [1913 Webster]
