English term or phrase: the feathering top of the fountain column

E vorba de un fragment din "Lilith" de G. MacDonald:
"It had rained the greater part of the morning and afternoon, but just as the sun was setting, the clouds parted in front of him, and he shone into the room. I rose and looked out of the window. In the centre of the great lawn the feathering top of the fountain column was filled with his red glory. "

As dori cateva variante de traducere in romana sau macar o explicatie in engleza.
Multumesc.

contururile evanescente/usor estompate ale artezienei

Explanation:

It seems that this is a defining scene in George MacDonald "closed alegory of Christian salvation' that influenced Lewis.
He notices the similarities between the actual fountain and the painting in the manor and by creating this raven imagery that transports you into an allegorical dimension, he sets a mysterious atmosphere for the meeting with Mr. Raven.

One more comment : in photography, "feathering" is "softening the edges".
