archaicpoetic
Lightning, or a flash of lightning, especially as described in older or poetic writing.
Levin is an old word for the bright flash that accompanies thunder, and it survives now almost exclusively in poetry, ballads, and deliberately archaic prose rather than in everyday speech. Writers reaching for a more dramatic or old-fashioned tone than lightning often choose levin instead. The word can also appear as an adjective meaning bright or flashing, though the noun use is far more common.
