Today, the quieter magic of Thursday casts a soft halo over the evening.

Everyone was asleep before the night nurse came on Rim, hunched and still, a smile on his wasted features in the soft halo of torchlight.

The image is said to be diffused, meaning that what normally would be sharply focused points of light acquire a soft halo around them.

In an instant, Bliss' dress was a soft halo around her ankles.
