How to translate "reluciente de albor" in sentence below?

Question

". . . notó que hasta la noche se mostraba ante ella como nunca la había visto: reluciente de albor." This is from 'Como agua para chocolate' about halfway thro chapter 2.

Answer 1

Hi again, I'd say: gleaming white as an adjective. I think it means something like radiant in that sentence.

Answer 2

she noted that the night appeared to her as never before: shining like dawn.

Answer 3

Well it is a strange metaphor to say the night shines white (to me) although poetic licence etc etc. There are other meanings for albor - like 'newness' or a new beginning or even youth. So regarding the night, I guess the night was like a night, fresh and new and exciting, like a night never before experienced.....
