 Context examples 

She was, if possible, more radiantly beautiful than ever; and I could not believe that she was dead.

(Dracula, by Bram Stoker)

I dared not pause to look on her as I had on her sister, lest once more I should begin to be enthrall; but I go on searching until, presently, I find in a high great tomb as if made to one much beloved that other fair sister which, like Jonathan I had seen to gather herself out of the atoms of the mist. She was so fair to look on, so radiantly beautiful, so exquisitely voluptuous, that the very instinct of man in me, which calls some of my sex to love and to protect one of hers, made my head whirl with new emotion.

(Dracula, by Bram Stoker)

She looked at us all radiantly.

(The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald)
