1. Gladenoun

   A lawn or opening in a wood. Lucus. It is taken for an avenue through a wood, whether open or shaded, and has therefore epithets of opposite meaning.

   Etymology: from glowan, to be hot, or to shine; whence the Danish glod, and the obsolete English gleed, a red hot coal.

   So flam’d his eyen with rage and rancorous ire;
   But far within, as in a hollow glade,
   Those glaring lamps were set, that made a dreadful shade. Fairy Queen, b. i. cant. 11.

   Lo where they spy’d, how in a gloomy glade
   The lion sleeping lay in secret shade. Hubberd’s Tale.

   O might I here
   In solitude live savage, in some glade
   Obscur’d, where highest woods, impenetrable
   To star or sun-light, spread their umbrage broad,
   And brown as evening. John Milton, Paradise Lost, b. ix.

   When any, favour’d of high Jove,
   Chances to pass through this adventurous glade,
   Swift as a sparkle of a glancing star
   I shoot from heav’n to give him safe convoy. John Milton.

   For noonday’s heat are closer arbours made,
   And for fresh ev’ning air the op’ner glade. John Dryden, Innocence.

   There, interspers’d in lawns and opening glades,
   Thin trees arise that shun each other’s shades. Alexander Pope.

   By the heroes armed shades,
   Glitt’ring through the gloomy glades;
   By the youths that dy’d for love,
   Wand’ring in the myrtle grove,
   Restore, restore Eurydice to life!
   Oh, take the husband, or restore the wife! Alexander Pope, St. Cecil.

1. Glade

   In the most general sense, a glade or clearing is an open area within a woodland. Glades are often grassy meadows under the canopy of deciduous trees such as red alder or quaking aspen in western North America. They also represent openings in forests where local conditions such as avalanches, poor soils, or fire damage have created semi-permanent clearings. They are very important to herbivorous animals, such as deer and elk, for forage and denning activities. Sometimes the word is used in a looser sense, as in the treeless wetlands of the Everglades. In the central United States, the term glade is used more specifically to describe rocky, prairie-like habitats that occur in areas of shallow soil. Glades are characterized by unique plant and animal communities that are adapted to harsh and dry conditions.
