Ebullient

ebullient: [i-buhl-yuhnt] adj. overflowing with enthusiasm or exuberance; bubbling up like boiling liquid.


And when the words were ended, not unlike
To iron in the furnace, every cirque,
Ebullient, shot forth scintillating fires...

----Dante Alighieri
The Divine Comedy
Paradise
Canto XXVIII
