flaring

Crime is on the rise and tensions throughout the city are flaring.

The colours of the rainbow shone there in pale tints, and the flaring sunshine could not enter.

There was a dry-goods clerk, who wore flaring ties, and who played the role of a "masher" upon the avenue every evening.

Up against the black morning sky there streamed a broad flaring of red, irregular and uncertain.

The fire in the range had gone out; the candle-flame, flaring above a saucer of melted wax, sank lower and lower.

Twas cold, and the lamp was flaring: I closed the door against this inrush of weather.
