Entry: transperçant (adj.)
In context: "In contrast with the violence and transperçant puncturing of the sunset..."
Definition: I'll admit some confusion on this one. I've tried a few online translations, from French to English, and I keep getting back 'piercing'. So, is it a piercing puncturing of the sunset?
Other: A little help?
