| Definition | adj. Unclouded, clear; especially said of liquid or a person's eyes. |
| Sentence | [I]ndeed, it may well be that the very attraction immaturity has for me lies not so much in the limpidity of pure young forbidden fairy child beauty as in the security of a situation where infinite perfections fill the gap between the little given and the great promised – the great rosegray never-to-be-had. |
