Shining \Shin"ing\, a.       1. Emitting light, esp. in a continuous manner; radiant; as,             shining lamps; also, bright by the reflection of light;             as, shining armor. [bd]Fish . . . with their fins and             shining scales.[b8] --Milton.          2. Splendid; illustrious; brilliant; distinguished;             conspicious; as, a shining example of charity.          3. Having the surface smooth and polished; -- said of leaves,             the surfaces of shells, etc.          Syn: Glistening; bright; radiant; resplendent; effulgent;                lustrous; brilliant; glittering; splendid; illustrious.                         Usage: {Shining}, {Brilliant}, {Sparking}. Shining describes                   the steady emission of a strong light, or the steady                   reflection of light from a clear or polished surface.                   Brilliant denotes a shining of great brightness, but                   with gleams or flashes. Sparkling implies a fitful,                   intense shining from radiant points or sparks, by                   which the eye is dazzled. The same distinctions obtain                   when these epithets are figuratively applied. A man of                   shining talents is made conspicious by possessing                   them; if they flash upon the mind with a peculiarly                   striking effect, we call them brilliant; if his                   brilliancy is marked by great vivacity and occasional                   intensity, he is sparkling.                               True paradise . . . inclosed with shining rock.                                                                               --Milton.                               Some in a brilliant buckle bind her waist, Some                            round her neck a circling light display. --Gay.                               His sparkling blade about his head he blest.                                                                               --Spenser.
